I upgraded from 0.6.1, so the changes in 0.6.2 are the ones that are
affecting me.

Yes, but where/how? :-)

Okay, here's the general form that I'm currently using...
t = "SELECT * FROM TABLE (myfunc (:a,:b))"
q = session.query ('COL1", 'COL2", 'COL3').from_statement (t).params
(a=v1,b=v2)
Hm...your reference to "text()" above led me to this...
t = text ("SELECT * FROM TABLE (myfunc (:a,:b))", typemap={'COL3':
Integer})
q = session.query ('COL1", 'COL2", 'COL3').from_statement (t).params
(a=v1,b=v2)
That seems to do the trick.
Thanks much.
