I have a small project I am trying to finish and I ran into a hiccup. I saw the sqlachemy.sql.func object and decided to try to use it. Here is the code to get us on the same page.
userPassword = 'thisisasalt'; insertDictionary = [{ 'user_name': user_name, 'user_pwd': sqlalchemy.sql.func.encode(cred_pwd, userPassword), 'user_host': user_host, 'edit_user': 1, 'edit_date': datetime.now() }] dbMetaObject = sqlalchemy.MetaData(self.dbConnection) usersTable = sqlalchemy.Table('users', dbMetaObject, autoload=True, autoload_with=self.dbConnection) usersTableObject = usersTable.insert() result = self.dbConnection.execute(usersTableObject, insertDictionary) Now when I do the insert, it actually inserts the python string type. 2009-08-28 09:26:21,814 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x...0c90 ['user', <sqlalchemy.sql.expression.Function at 0x6107f0; encode>, '', 1, datetime.datetime(2009, 8, 28, 9, 26, 21, 811219)] which looks like the following when selected. mysql> select * from users where user_id = 5\G *************************** 1. row *************************** user_id: 5 user_name: test_user user_pwd: encode(:encode_1, :encode_2) cred_host: edit_user: 1 edit_date: 2009-08-28 09:26:21 1 row in set (0.00 sec) My question is how do I get it to run the encode function and add the proper value to the database? Thanks in advance for the help! This is an insert not on a select and I the documentation doesn't have a good example of using a function against an insert.
