For some of the +special datatypes defined in ``mailman.database.types``, you will have to +manually change the datatype. For example, ``mailman.database.types.Enum()`` +needs to be changed to ``sa.Integer()`` ,as Enum type stores just the integer in +the database. A more complex migration would be needed for ``UUID`` depending +upon the database layer to be used. + .. _SQLAlchemy: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ .. _SQLite3: http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html |
