[SQLObject] Oracle support: Binary type

[Dmitry C. <dch...@ot...>]

Hello all.

Currently I work on Oracle support for SQLObject. I use cx_Oracle as 
database driver. It is said to be DB API 2.0 compliant, but it does not 
provide Binary type, as other drivers do.
I'm not an experienced SQLObject user; the contrary is true.
So, can anyone please enlighten me about the use of Binary datatype in 
SQLObject? Why dbconnection.py pays such special attention to it?
Now I just emulate it by adding a Binary type as type(buffer('')) to the 
module after import. I did not test binary columns yet.

(For anyone else interested: now db connection works, table creation 
works, most of retrieval methods work; class guessing by data structure 
does not work yet. After all, it was only a 2-day effort so far :))
