Quick note about __init__ method. SA select(..) or query(...) does not call __init__(), so your to upper logic won't be executed then. If you want it to be called every object construction you need to do this:
from sqlalchemy import orm @orm.reconstructor def some_function(): self.field1=field1.upper() # Call that method inside __init__ as well def __init__(self): some_function() Sorry for not answering the problem. - Didip - On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 1:43 AM, drakkan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm migrating from django orm to sqlalchemy, in django was very simple > to override save method to do own stuff before save the value to > database, for example: > > class TestModel(models.Model): > field1=models.CharField(max_length=255) > > def save(): > self.field1=self.field1.upper() > super(TestModel,self).save() > > so when I add or modify an object it is ever converted to uppercase. > In sa this simple model become: > > class TestModel(Base) > __tablename__='testtable' > field1=Column(Unicode(255)) > > def __init__(field1): > self.field1=field1.upper() > > this way if I call the init method field1 is converted to upper but if > i modify the field I have to manually convert to upper.
