You need to get the column declared type and convert it to the type you want based on that.
mmm... so I would look at it in a statically typed way. it sounds reasonable and is surely acceptable for me. but: how do I get the declared type of the column? currently the python interface does not retrieve this information, probably because of the dynamic typing of the engine...
You can always add a ticket for it, as a new feature, and see how it goes ;-)
you mean: reporting a bug? I don't manage to access the page from here, but I see that from home it does work. will definitely do so. it could be an optional feature, to be enabled at compile time...
