I am writing a system where I want my DB primary keys to be represented in the system by a type other than an integer. I have run into several issues with this:
1) I tried using a TypeDecorator, but SQLAlchemy does not like this. Seems like the main problem is the auto_increment is not set on the column when creating the table, but I think I ran into other issues even after making the table by hand. This issue was discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/sqlalchemy/browse_thread/thread/4b13261da8c4c932/d0b84b4c14a6645e. However, specifying a Sequence does not solve the problem for me (I'm using MySQL). So, I resorted to using a straight Type, and have a couple of other problems: 2) After session.flush() the ID is an integer, not the type returned from my result processor. After a query the types are correct. 3) When doing queries, filters on the ID are not passed through the bind process, so they return no results. This broke after 0.6beta1. I have created a test case the illustrates all of these issues here: http://pastebin.com/CnAmptck Thanks for any help! -Lenza -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
