While mucking with the refactoring of adodbapi, I included a patch fixing a bug when storing data into columns of type "adGUID". I had not been really aware that SQL Server has a dedicated data type for UUID until that ticket surfaced. Then I started thinking about the column in one of my CDC data tables which contains text which always contains "uuid:" followed by a long hexadecimal looking string. I am pretty sure it was once a primary key, but pending something like ticket 19463 I don't use it as such. Nevertheless, it started me thinking...
When I read data columns written in native decimal or date-time formats, I make the db-api module emit good, proper Python decimal.decimal and datetime.datetime objects. It would not take much effort to perform a similar action when I see that the incoming column is of the Windows type "adUUID" -- I could emit an instance of the "uuid" class. Is that a good idea, or a bad idea? -- Vernon Cole -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
