Mike,
 
Thanks very much for your quick response. Now it works, sqlite works 
fine,  and the result from mysql seems not exact what I need, see below.
 
......
from sqlalchemy.types import TypeDecorator, String

class character_type(TypeDecorator):
    def __init__(self, length):
        self.impl = String(length).with_variant(String(length, 
collation='utf8_general_ci'), 'mysql').with_variant(String(length, 
collation='NOCASE'), 'sqlite')
    def __repr__(self):
        return "character_type(%d)" % self.impl.length

def upgrade():
    ### commands auto generated by Alembic - please adjust! ###
    op.create_table('atable',
    sa.Column('name', character_type(length=200), nullable=True),
    sa.PrimaryKeyConstraint()
    )
......
and after running 'alembic upgrade head', created table in mysql:
CREATE TABLE `atable` (
  *`name` varchar(200) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL*
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

and created table in sqlite:
CREATE TABLE atable (
    name VARCHAR(200) COLLATE "NOCASE"
);
 
Do I need to change something in the code?
