How to get current date and time from DB using SQLAlchemy
I foud the solution: these functions cannot be used in the way I used (print...), but need to be called inside of the code that interacts with the database. For instance:
print select([my_table, func.current_date()]).execute()or assigned to a field in an insert operation.Accidentally I discovered that exists at least a couple of parameters for these functions:
type_that indicates the type of the value to return, I guessbindthat indicates a binding to an SQLAlchemy engine
Two examples of use:
func.current_date(type_=types.Date, bind=engine1)func.current_timestamp(type_=types.Time, bind=engine2)Anyway my tests seems to say these parameters are not so important.
