HI everyone,

I'm trying to use sqlalchemy (0.9.10) to retrieve the number of rows of 
table in PostgreSQL, here a stub of the code:

import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy import select, create_engine, MetaData, Table, Column
import datetime

engine = 
create_engine('postgresql+pg8000://postgres:password@localhost/mydb')
metadata = MetaData(engine) 
tab = Table('test', metadata,
    Column('c1', sqlalchemy.INTEGER)
)
tab.create()
tab.insert().values(c1=123456).execute()
res = select([sqlalchemy.func.count('*')], None, 
from_obj=[tab]).execute().fetchall()
print res

And here is the error I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Impara 01\Desktop\t.py", line 13, in <module>
    res = select([sqlalchemy.func.count('*')], None,

sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) ('ERROR', '42P18', 
'could not determine data type of parameter $1') u'SELECT count(%s) AS 
count_1 \nFROM test' ('*',)

It seems that somehow the query is not formatted correctly....any hint?
Thanks in advance!
