Embarrassingly, I'm gotten lost in calling SQL functions in SQLAlchemy
0.7.1.
I can boil the problem down to the following table structure:
CREATE TABLE words (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
timestamp DATETIME NOT NULL,
word TEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
UNIQUE (word)
);
...where I would like to find the maximum & minimum stored string lengths.
eg.
SELECT MAX(LENGTH(word), MAX(LENGTH(word)) FROM words;
The code below constructs & populates the table correctly, but translating
the above SQL into something more Pythonic is eluding me. Any suggestions
would be welcomed, as I'm in a rut.
Thanks.

for w in words:
session.add(Word(w))
session.commit()
print 'total words = %d' % session.query(Word).count()
# minimum length = ?
# maximum length = ?
