I have a Column(Integer) called object_id. I assign to it a string or unicode value, eg. object_id = u"not an integer". To my surprise, this doesn't raise any kind of exception when the row is committed. I can then expunge the session and request that row back, getting a Unicode object for that column.
I understand that sqlite is very weakly typed and that you can do this sort of thing easily. But I thought that SQLAlchemy would apply some logic in the middle to ensure that an Integer column only takes something integral. I would understand if I'd passed "30" or some other string that could be coerced to an integer, but this doesn't fit that constraint. So, 2 questions: a) Is this expected behaviour? b) How can I catch this, ideally at the SQLAlchemy level, so that I can't accidentally store a string as an integer? -- Ben Sizer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
