in case lot of overhead will be there so it is better to use that column label only
well it doesn't work anyway because data from a CLOB is not in cx_oracle's world a "String", it's a LOB. The CLOB / NCLOB types for cx_oracle are organized in their own way where only NCLOB actually has unicode handling capability, regardless of the coerce_to_unicode or convert_unicode flags; CLOB does not. So either use NCLOB, or build out your own convert unicode, here is a demo:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, CLOB, Table, MetaData, Column, select, TypeDecorator
from sqlalchemy.dialects.oracle import NCLOB

e = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@xe", echo='debug')

class ForceUnicodeClob(TypeDecorator):
    impl = CLOB
    def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
        if value is not None:
            value = value.decode('utf-8')
        return value

m = MetaData()
t = Table('test', m, Column('data1', NCLOB()), Column('data2', ForceUnicodeClob()))

m.drop_all(e)
m.create_all(e)

e.execute(t.insert(), data1=u'unicode', data2=u'unicode')

result = e.execute(select([t.c.data1, t.c.data2]))
value1, value2 = result.fetchone()
print repr(value1), repr(value2)

    applying convert_unicode to CLOB type does not have any effect.
    Still I am getting str type object from sqlalchemy for CLOB type
    column

    have you tried the coerce_to_unicode flag on create_engine() ?

        what about CLOB type? Unicode only handles String type. Do i
        need to use convert_unicode there?

        if your CLOB expects non-ascii characters then yes.

        though on Oracle I thought you really need to be using NCLOB
        for a col that stores unicode.

            Thanks for help. But still i have confusion over
            encoding and decoding procedure which will take place
            before retrieving and storing the results in DB.

            In case if i am not using convert_unicode option and
            data type is String so python process will give str
            object to sqlalchemy at the time of insert record in DB
            using ORM. So will alchemy store that object in encoded
            form?. So at the time of retrieving ORM will give str
            object for String type column to python and python
            decode that object with default encoding?

            Can i simply use Unicode Data type for columns where
            there might be chance of using non ascii data?

            if you know that your unicode data is on specific
            columns then yes, the Unicode type plugs in an
            encoder/decoder for those backends that require it.

                We are using sqlalchemy version 0.7, python 2.7
                and oracle Database.
                We have ASCII as default python encoding and DB
                have ISO-8052 encoding. Our DB tables contains
                some of characters which are out of ASCII range.
                So when we are running query on those tables we
                are getting Unicode Decode error saying "ASCII"
                codec can not decode. This error we are getting
                without accessing model attributes.

                How i can handle these errors without changing
                python default encoding.

                Oracle's client encoding is controlled by the
                NLS_LANG environment variable. That has to be set
                correctly first off (see
                
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/globalization/nls-lang-099431.html).
                If you have non-ASCII strings encoded in datatypes
                that are explicitly not of type NVARCHAR or NCLOB ,
                or you're relying on a lot of raw SQL, and you are
                still getting errors, I would set the
                "coerce_to_unicode=True" flag on create_engine(),
                which allows cx_Oracle's unicode facilities to take
                place fully for all string data being returned, at
                the expense of some performance. See
                
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_1_0/dialects/oracle.html#unicode
                for background.
