SQLAlchemy and Oracle Functions?

[Greg Copeland]

I'm using SQLAlchemy and have a need to call an Oracle function; which
is not the same as a stored procedure. Can this be done directory or
indirectly with SQLAlchemy? If so, can someone please provide an
example? If not, how do I obtain the raw cx_Oracle cursor so I can
use callfunc directly on that?

Thanks,

Greg

SQLAlchemy has its own google group

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sqlalchemy

You could try asking there too.

Very nice. That exactly answered by question. It works! Also, I
didn't know about the sqlalchemy group so I appreciate the heads up.

Thanks,

I think I spoke too soon! Are SQL functions which have out arguments
not allowed? I get:
sqlalchemy.exceptions.SQLError: (DatabaseError) ORA-06572: Function
blah has out arguments.

Seems google is having problems right now too. I tried to join but it
just times out so I am currently unable to post to the sqlalchemy
google group.

Anthing special I need to do to call an Oracle function via the func
method, which also has output parameters?
