I'm connecting to mssql server 2000 through pyodbc, via FreeTDS odbc
driver, on linux ubuntu 10.04.

Sqlalchemy 0.5 uses DATETIME for sqlalchemy.Date() fields.

Now Sqlalchemy 0.6 uses DATE, but sql server 2000 doesn't have a DATE type.

I'm aware that sqlalchemy 2005 has the DATE type, but sqlalchemy 2000 doesn't.

How can I make DATETIME be the default for sqlalchemy.Date() on
sqlalchemy 0.6 mssql+pyodbc dialect, when connecting to sqlalchemy
2000?

I'd like to keep it as clean as possible.

Here's code to reproduce the issue:

import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy import Table, Column, MetaData, Date, Integer, create_engine

engine = create_engine(
    'mssql+pyodbc://sa:s...@myserver/mydb?driver=FreeTDS')

m = MetaData(bind=engine)

tb = sqlalchemy.Table('test_date', m,
    Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
    Column('dt', Date())
)
tb.create()

And here is the traceback I'm getting:
