Firebird treats the word 'count' as a keyword, so mapper / testcount does this:
mapper(User, users) q = create_session().query(User) self.assert_(q.count()==3) self.assert_(q.count(users.c.user_id.in_(8,9))==2) self.assert_(q.count_by(user_name='fred')==1) which produces: SQL error code = -104\n Token unknown - line 1, column 20\n count') 'SELECT count(?) AS count \nFROM users' [1] Is it safe to change sql.py/ FromClause and TableClause count() to use a different label than "count"? Since in this case, the count method is returning it's value, the actual label used doesn't seem to matter. Also, Firebird only allows count(*) or count(column_ref) So I am not sure how func.count(1) is supposed to be handled. Where in the engine do I override the handling of count? I couldn't trace much beyond sql.FunctionGenerator. Somehow the engine needs a crack at changing count.. -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com AOL-IM or SKYPE: BKClements ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
