def __init__(self, *values, **kw): (source)

Construct a SET. E.g.:: Column('myset', SET("foo", "bar", "baz")) The list of potential values is required in the case that this set will be used to generate DDL for a table, or if the :paramref:`.SET.retrieve_as_bitwise` flag is set to True. :param values: The range of valid values for this SET. The values are not quoted, they will be escaped and surrounded by single quotes when generating the schema. :param convert_unicode: Same flag as that of :paramref:`.String.convert_unicode`. :param collation: same as that of :paramref:`.String.collation` :param charset: same as that of :paramref:`.VARCHAR.charset`. :param ascii: same as that of :paramref:`.VARCHAR.ascii`. :param unicode: same as that of :paramref:`.VARCHAR.unicode`. :param binary: same as that of :paramref:`.VARCHAR.binary`. :param retrieve_as_bitwise: if True, the data for the set type will be persisted and selected using an integer value, where a set is coerced into a bitwise mask for persistence. MySQL allows this mode which has the advantage of being able to store values unambiguously, such as the blank string ``''``. The datatype will appear as the expression ``col + 0`` in a SELECT statement, so that the value is coerced into an integer value in result sets. This flag is required if one wishes to persist a set that can store the blank string ``''`` as a value. .. warning:: When using :paramref:`.mysql.SET.retrieve_as_bitwise`, it is essential that the list of set values is expressed in the **exact same order** as exists on the MySQL database. .. versionadded:: 1.0.0

def adapt(self, impltype, **kw): (source)

Produce an "adapted" form of this type, given an "impl" class to work with. This method is used internally to associate generic types with "implementation" types that are specific to a particular dialect.

def bind_processor(self, dialect): (source)

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 :class:`.types.TypeEngine` class in order to provide an alternate :meth:`_types.TypeEngine.bind_processor` method, unless subclassing the :class:`_types.UserDefinedType` class explicitly. To provide alternate behavior for :meth:`_types.TypeEngine.bind_processor`, implement a :class:`_types.TypeDecorator` class and provide an implementation of :meth:`_types.TypeDecorator.process_bind_param`. .. seealso:: :ref:`types_typedecorator` :param dialect: Dialect instance in use.

def column_expression(self, colexpr): (source)

Given a SELECT column expression, return a wrapping SQL expression. This is typically a SQL function that wraps a column expression as rendered in the columns clause of a SELECT statement. It is used for special data types that require columns to be wrapped in some special database function in order to coerce the value before being sent back to the application. It is the SQL analogue of the :meth:`.TypeEngine.result_processor` method. This method is called during the **SQL compilation** phase of a statement, when rendering a SQL string. It is **not** called against specific values. .. 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 :class:`.types.TypeEngine` class in order to provide an alternate :meth:`_types.TypeEngine.column_expression` method, unless subclassing the :class:`_types.UserDefinedType` class explicitly. To provide alternate behavior for :meth:`_types.TypeEngine.column_expression`, implement a :class:`_types.TypeDecorator` class and provide an implementation of :meth:`_types.TypeDecorator.column_expression`. .. seealso:: :ref:`types_typedecorator` .. seealso:: :ref:`types_sql_value_processing`

def result_processor(self, dialect, coltype): (source)

Return a conversion function for processing result row values. Returns a callable which will receive a result row column value as the sole positional argument and will return a value to return to the user. 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 :class:`.types.TypeEngine` class in order to provide an alternate :meth:`_types.TypeEngine.result_processor` method, unless subclassing the :class:`_types.UserDefinedType` class explicitly. To provide alternate behavior for :meth:`_types.TypeEngine.result_processor`, implement a :class:`_types.TypeDecorator` class and provide an implementation of :meth:`_types.TypeDecorator.process_result_value`. .. seealso:: :ref:`types_typedecorator` :param dialect: Dialect instance in use. :param coltype: DBAPI coltype argument received in cursor.description.
