Hello Michael, Thanks for your great piece of software.
I have a question about getting type information from a mapper created with reflection. How do I know the python type of a mapped attribute without having to extract at least one record? Right now I do this: colnames = mapper.c.keys() coltypes = [type(getattr(mapper.select()[0],x)) for x in colnames] which would fail if I have an empty table This way I know which _python_ types I can expect as a result of a select() on that mapper and what types I have to use on insert. While if do: If I do this: colnames = mapper.c.keys() coltypes = [(getattr(mapper,x)).type for x in colnames] I get the sqlalchemy.types (or derivatives) which tell me only the type stored in the db. This could be useful to check for correct type binding _before_ actually having the driver raising an exception and manage type conversion on the python side. Thanks for you help and keep up the great work!
