sqlalchemy.dialects.sqlite.DATE

class documentation

class DATE(_DateTimeMixin, sqltypes.Date):

Known subclasses: sqlalchemy.dialects.sqlite.pysqlite._SQLite_pysqliteDate

Represent a Python date object in SQLite using a string.

The default string storage format is:

"%(year)04d-%(month)02d-%(day)02d"

e.g.:

2011-03-15

The storage format can be customized to some degree using the storage_format and regexp parameters, such as:

import re
from sqlalchemy.dialects.sqlite import DATE

d = DATE(
        storage_format="%(month)02d/%(day)02d/%(year)04d",
        regexp=re.compile("(?P<month>\d+)/(?P<day>\d+)/(?P<year>\d+)")
    )

Parameters
storage_format	format string which will be applied to the dict with keys year, month, and day.
regexp	regular expression which will be applied to incoming result rows. If the regexp contains named groups, the resulting match dict is applied to the Python date() constructor as keyword arguments. Otherwise, if positional groups are used, the date() constructor is called with positional arguments via `*map(int, match_obj.groups(0))`.

Method	`bind_processor`	Return a conversion function for processing bind values.

def bind_processor(self, dialect):

overrides sqlalchemy.types.TypeEngine.bind_processor

overridden in sqlalchemy.dialects.sqlite.pysqlite._SQLite_pysqliteDate

Return a conversion function for processing bind values.

Returns a callable which will receive a bind parameter value as the sole positional argument and will return a value to send to the DB-API.

If processing is not necessary, the method should return None.

Note

This method is only called relative to a dialect specific type object, which is often private to a dialect in use and is not the same type object as the public facing one, which means it's not feasible to subclass a .types.TypeEngine class in order to provide an alternate _types.TypeEngine.bind_processor method, unless subclassing the _types.UserDefinedType class explicitly.

To provide alternate behavior for _types.TypeEngine.bind_processor, implement a _types.TypeDecorator class and provide an implementation of _types.TypeDecorator.process_bind_param.

Parameters
dialect	Dialect instance in use.
coltype	DBAPI coltype argument received in cursor.description.
