also matching examples in the Gadfly documentation, but Gadfly through Zope doesn't seem to like it:

My guess is that your eyeballs are deceiving you. Gadfly ignores declared sql types -- so if one side is the int 12 and the other side is the string "12" gadfly will print them the same and insist that they are not equal. Similar for "12 " and "12". Jim Fulton:

The version of gadfly that is used in our Zope ZGadflyDA is woefully out of date.

Yes, but I've never had a complaint like this about any version of gadfly (that was a gadfly bug, modulo the missing type inforcement which is arguably a bug). -- Aaron Watters http://www.chordate.com === Partying is such sweet sorrow. -- Shakespeare (corrected)
