This method is preferred to direct subclassing of SQLAlchemy's

Typical usage::
import sqlalchemy.types as types
class MyType(types.TypeDecorator):
'''Prefixes Unicode values with "PREFIX:" on the way in and

'''

def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect):

return value[7:]
def copy(self):
return MyType(self.impl.length)
The class-level "impl" variable is required, and can reference any
TypeEngine class. Alternatively, the load_dialect_impl() method
can be used to provide different type classes based on the dialect
given; in this case, the "impl" variable can reference
``TypeEngine`` as a placeholder.
Types that receive a Python type that isn't similar to the ultimate type
used may want to define the :meth:`TypeDecorator.coerce_compared_value`
method. This is used to give the expression system a hint when coercing
Python objects into bind parameters within expressions. Consider this
expression::
mytable.c.somecol + datetime.date(2009, 5, 15)
Above, if "somecol" is an ``Integer`` variant, it makes sense that
we're doing date arithmetic, where above is usually interpreted
by databases as adding a number of days to the given date.
The expression system does the right thing by not attempting to
coerce the "date()" value into an integer-oriented bind parameter.
However, in the case of ``TypeDecorator``, we are usually changing an
incoming Python type to something new - ``TypeDecorator`` by default will
"coerce" the non-typed side to be the same type as itself. Such as below,
we define an "epoch" type that stores a date value as an integer::
class MyEpochType(types.TypeDecorator):
impl = types.Integer
epoch = datetime.date(1970, 1, 1)
def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect):
return (value - self.epoch).days
def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
return self.epoch + timedelta(days=value)
Our expression of ``somecol + date`` with the above type will coerce the
"date" on the right side to also be treated as ``MyEpochType``.
This behavior can be overridden via the
:meth:`~TypeDecorator.coerce_compared_value` method, which returns a type
that should be used for the value of the expression. Below we set it such
that an integer value will be treated as an ``Integer``, and any other
value is assumed to be a date and will be treated as a ``MyEpochType``::

"""A mixin that marks a :class:`TypeEngine` as representing
a mutable Python object type.
"mutable" means that changes can occur in place to a value
of this type. Examples includes Python lists, dictionaries,
and sets, as well as user-defined objects. The primary
need for identification of "mutable" types is by the ORM,
which applies special rules to such values in order to guarantee
that changes are detected. These rules may have a significant
performance impact, described below.
A :class:`MutableType` usually allows a flag called
``mutable=True`` to enable/disable the "mutability" flag,
represented on this class by :meth:`is_mutable`. Examples
include :class:`PickleType` and
:class:`~sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql.base.ARRAY`. Setting
this flag to ``False`` effectively disables any mutability-
specific behavior by the ORM.
:meth:`copy_value` and :meth:`compare_values` represent a copy
and compare function for values of this type - implementing
subclasses should override these appropriately.
The usage of mutable types has significant performance
implications when using the ORM. In order to detect changes, the
ORM must create a copy of the value when it is first
accessed, so that changes to the current value can be compared
against the "clean" database-loaded value. Additionally, when the
ORM checks to see if any data requires flushing, it must scan
through all instances in the session which are known to have
"mutable" attributes and compare the current value of each
one to its "clean"
value. So for example, if the Session contains 6000 objects (a
fairly large amount) and autoflush is enabled, every individual
execution of :class:`Query` will require a full scan of that subset of
the 6000 objects that have mutable attributes, possibly resulting
in tens of thousands of additional method calls for every query.
Note that for small numbers (< 100 in the Session at a time)
of objects with "mutable" values, the performance degradation is
negligible. In most cases it's likely that the convenience allowed
by "mutable" change detection outweighs the performance penalty.
It is perfectly fine to represent "mutable" data types with the
"mutable" flag set to False, which eliminates any performance
issues. It means that the ORM will only reliably detect changes
for values of this type if a newly modified value is of a different
identity (i.e., ``id(value)``) than what was present before -
i.e., instead of operations like these::
myobject.somedict['foo'] = 'bar'
myobject.someset.add('bar')
myobject.somelist.append('bar')
You'd instead say::
myobject.somevalue = {'foo':'bar'}
myobject.someset = myobject.someset.union(['bar'])
myobject.somelist = myobject.somelist + ['bar']
A future release of SQLAlchemy will include instrumented
collection support for mutable types, such that at least usage of
plain Python datastructures will be able to emit events for
in-place changes, removing the need for pessimistic scanning for
changes.
