Hi,

I am a new sqlalchemy user. I'm a bit confused by the behavior of the
Numeric data type. Consider the following code:

from sqlalchemy import *

db = create_engine('sqlite:///test.db')
metadata = MetaData()
table = Table('thetable',metadata,Column('x',Numeric(scale=3)),Column
('y',Float))
metadata.create_all(db)

a = 300.155555

c = db.connect()
c.execute(table.insert(),{'x':a,'y':a})
c.close()

Now inspecting the database:

valinor:sqlalchemy tom$ sqlite3 test.db
SQLite version 3.4.0
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> select * from thetable;
300.155555|300.155555

Should the first column not be 300.156 since I specified scale=3? Am I
doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help,

Thomas
