AttributeError: 'OracleTypeCompiler' object has no attribute 'visit_LONG'

[Former user]

Hi!

When doing some reflection about the column-types, eg. checking if a column is a string the following error occures:

AttributeError: 'OracleTypeCompiler' object has no attribute 'visit_LONG'

Suggested fix:

Add def visit_LONG(self, type_): return self.visit_text(type_)

to class OracleTypeCompiler

Sincerly, Gunter

This is a bug but visit_LONG() needs to return the string "LONG". Can I get some more specifics on what you're doing ?

I am looping over the column-objects of a table:

for col in table.c: if str(col.type) == "CHAR": ... do something ...

The error occures in the str(col.type) statement when the column is in fact a LONG.

I am using Oracle (did not mention this in my first post but could be interpolated ;-) ) with Jython 2.5.

so, OK if I have that compile out to "LONG"? the uppercase types have a behavioral contract that they always produce that exact type.

Thats OK for me! Thanks for your great software!
