Hi Team, I have created customized data type using TypeDecorator approach. *from sqlalchemy import TypeDecorator, CLOB*
*class ForceUnicodeClob(TypeDecorator): impl = CLOB* * def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect): if isinstance(value, str): value = value.decode('utf-8', 'ignore') return value* * def process_result_value(self, value, dialect): if value is not None: value = "PREFIX" + value.decode('utf-8', 'ignore') return value* After this in my table definition I declared the type of one of column as *ForceUnicodeClob.* *dlr_dclmr = Table('dlr_dclmr', metadata,Column('dclmr_ds', ForceUnicodeClob(), primary_key=False))* After this I am executing the query on this table with session.query(Model) , but when I am accessing result.*dclmr_ds *i am not getting response prepended with "PREFIX". am i missing some steps? SQLAlchemy Version: 0.9.9 We are using classic mapping for attributes mapping with DB columns.
