See: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/Enum though I'm not sure that recipe is uptodate with latest version of SQLAlchemy. Please report back if you have any problem, I'll get you the correct version if needed. You can use custom types like that in Elixir as well. You'd simply write: class MyStuff(Entity): e = Field(Enum([u'foobar', u'baz', u'quux', None])) -- Gaëtan de Menten http://openhex.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SQLElixir" group.
