Ideally this TIMESTAMP column would have a default declared at the server level:
CREATE TABLE mytable ( ... some_timestamp TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) otherwise you're using python-side defaults, so you'd need to write a post-table processing function: from sqlalchemy import TIMESTAMP def add_defaults(table): for c in table.c: if isinstance(c.type, TIMESTAMP): c.default = <some default> # ... or whatever you'd want here, c.server_default=FetchedValue(), etc On Sep 15, 2011, at 1:58 AM, Matt Bodman wrote: > Hi, > > I am autoloading tables from an MSSQL db.
