oh, you just want to query against a string guid. Just pass it in as a string, sorry. from sqlalchemy import MetaData, Table, Column, create_engine from sqlalchemy.dialects.mssql import UNIQUEIDENTIFIER import uuid m = MetaData() t1 = Table('t', m, Column('id', UNIQUEIDENTIFIER)) e = create_engine("mssql://scott:tiger@ms_2005") with e.begin() as conn: m.create_all(conn) id_str = str(uuid.uuid4()) conn.execute(t1.insert(), id=id_str) print conn.execute(t1.select().where(t1.c.id==id_str)).first() -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
