-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi.
I have written a small class in order to support PostgreSQL tsearch type: class TextSearchVector(UserDefinedType): """Support for full-text search See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/datatype-textsearch.html """ def get_col_spec(self): return 'tsvector' The problem with this code is that a string is converted to a tsearch type without first normalizing it; this can also cause a syntax error. The solution is to use the `to_tsearch` function. In SQL (tested with PostgreSQL and SQLite, at least) I can do: INSERT INTO test (text) values(to_tsvector('some text')); That is, it is possible to specify a scalar select statement for each value. Is this possible to do with SQLAlchemy? It seems to me that it is not possible. It is not possible to specify an SQL scalar select statement in a custom type bind_processor method, and it is not possible to specify an SQL scalar select statement in an insert statement. Can this be solved using SQLAlchemy? Or should I simply use triggers?
