I'm interested in being able to use second time intervals on PostgreSQL, 
Oracle 8 *and *modern Oracle versions, agnostically.

The native python timedelta works great for the postgres and cx_Oracle 
drivers.  However *cx_Oracle connected to Oracle 8 won't support this* so 
I'm building my own construct to help.

We want support for something like this:

*current_timestamp() + timedelta(seconds=15)*

(Assume "current_timestamp()" works on all these databases -- I've already 
built that.)

*PostgreSQL*, works great with python's timedelta:
>>> DBSession.execute(select([current_timestamp() + 
timedelta(seconds=15)])).scalar()
MainThread: 09:15:20,871 INFO  [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine] BEGIN 
(implicit)
MainThread: 09:15:20,872 INFO  [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine] SELECT 
localtimestamp + %(param_1)s AS anon_1
MainThread: 09:15:20,872 INFO  [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine] {'param_1': 
datetime.timedelta(0, 15)}
datetime.datetime(2016, 5, 28, 9, 15, 35, 872999)

*Modern Oracle*, works great with python's timedelta:
>>> DBSession.execute(select([current_timestamp() + 
timedelta(seconds=15)])).scalar()
MainThread: 09:28:15,009 INFO  [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine] BEGIN

I've already constructed a class called "seconds_interval" that works for 
Oracle 8, but I don't know how to use the default behavior when not Oracle 
8:

*Oracle 8 usage:*
>>> DBSession.execute(select([current_timestamp() + *seconds_interval(15)*
])).scalar()
MainThread: 08:37:06,539 INFO  [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine] SELECT 
sysdate +* :seconds_1/86400 *AS anon_1 FROM DUAL
MainThread: 08:37:06,539 INFO  [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine] 
{'seconds_1': 15}
datetime.datetime(2016, 5, 28, 8, 37, 25)


class seconds_interval(FunctionElement):
    type = Interval()
    name = 'seconds'
    
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        FunctionElement.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
        self.seconds = args[0]

@compiles(seconds_interval)
def compile_seconds_interval(element, compiler, **kw):
    if compiler.dialect.name == 'oracle' and \
       compiler.dialect.server_version_info < (9,):
        return "%s/86400" % compiler.process(element.clauses)
    else:
        # use timedelta as bind param
        from datetime import timedelta
        td = timedelta(seconds=element.seconds)
        *return ...???*

Can anyone help me with the else: above to use the native python timedelta 
as a bind param?  (Or trash it completely if there is a better strategy?)

Much thanks in advance!
Kent
