Thanks Michael for the reply. I am not sure what version of cx_Oracle it is - it was downloaded as a Windows binary - the latest version is 5.1 on the cx_Oracle download page.
I did manage to solve the other problem though, but I don't know why I needed a fix. In the vanilla cx_Oracle code, I used the exact same connect string (with the Oracle service name), and ran the query and it worked fine. In sqla I had to give it a namespace definition (which I figured out by accident by browsing the tables from a third party tool), and then the exact same "MERCHANT" worked. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
