Yet again I shoot to soon... forgot to look through the archives before
posting, missed the bit about the segfault fixed in cvs, my apologies.

Subject: Segmentation fault


Hi again,
	I keep getting segfaults whenever I try to retrieve a timestamp in pydb2
without first converting it to a string via char(). I realise one should
probably always cast first anyway but I have a lot of inexperienced python
programmers working under my supervision and segfaults are rather scary.
Shouldn't this either work or just be caught in an exception printing
something informative out instead of the timestamp?

Example:

import DB2

conn = DB2.connect()
curs = conn.cursor()

curs.execute("select intime from hra where intime > current timestamp -
dec(120000,6)"
one_row = curs.fetchone()
print one_row[0]
curs.close()
del curs
conn.close()
del conn


intime is a timestamp in table hra. This segfaults in pydb2 on
(curs.fetchone()) but obviously runs fine on command line.

If you point me in the right direction I might even be able to do it for you
;)
