When getting data from a database using the dbapi and an SQL query, how do you in general round trip the data? Especially date-time?
An SQL datetime column translates nicely into a Python datetime (surprise), which then translates into a string like '2005-08-03 07:32:48'. No problem with that -- all works quite nicely, until you try to put data back the other way. There is no obvious way to parse that string back into a datetime, and having done so no obvious way to push that back into a SQL datetime column. Am I missing something? [I would particularly like to avoid getting trapped by SQL "local settings" too.] DavidY -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
