          DDL and CAST expressions.  May be safely omitted if no ``CREATE
          TABLE`` will be issued.  Certain databases may require a
          ``length`` for use in DDL, and will raise an exception when
          the ``CREATE TABLE`` DDL is issued if a ``VARCHAR``
          with no length is included.  Whether the value is
          interpreted as bytes or characters is database specific.

        :param collation: Optional, a column-level collation for
          use in DDL and CAST expressions.  Renders using the
          COLLATE keyword supported by SQLite, MySQL, and Postgresql.
          E.g.::

        :param convert_unicode: When set to ``True``, the
          :class:`.String` type will assume that
          input is to be passed as Python ``unicode`` objects,
          and results returned as Python ``unicode`` objects.
          If the DBAPI in use does not support Python unicode
          (which is fewer and fewer these days), SQLAlchemy
          will encode/decode the value, using the
          value of the ``encoding`` parameter passed to
          :func:`.create_engine` as the encoding.

          When using a DBAPI that natively supports Python
          unicode objects, this flag generally does not
          need to be set.  For columns that are explicitly
          intended to store non-ASCII data, the :class:`.Unicode`
          or :class:`.UnicodeText`
          types should be used regardless, which feature
          the same behavior of ``convert_unicode`` but
          also indicate an underlying column type that
          directly supports unicode, such as ``NVARCHAR``.

          For the extremely rare case that Python ``unicode``
          is to be encoded/decoded by SQLAlchemy on a backend
          that does natively support Python ``unicode``,
          the value ``force`` can be passed here which will
          cause SQLAlchemy's encode/decode services to be
          used unconditionally.

        :param unicode_error: Optional, a method to use to handle Unicode
          conversion errors. Behaves like the ``errors`` keyword argument to
          the standard library's ``string.decode()`` functions.   This flag
          requires that ``convert_unicode`` is set to ``force`` - otherwise,
          SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
          conversion.   Note that this flag adds significant performance
          overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
          return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do).  This
          flag should only be used as a last resort for reading
          strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings.

class Unicode(String):

    """A variable length Unicode string type.

    The :class:`.Unicode` type is a :class:`.String` subclass
    that assumes input and output as Python ``unicode`` data,
    and in that regard is equivalent to the usage of the
    ``convert_unicode`` flag with the :class:`.String` type.
    However, unlike plain :class:`.String`, it also implies an
    underlying column type that is explicitly supporting of non-ASCII
    data, such as ``NVARCHAR`` on Oracle and SQL Server.
    This can impact the output of ``CREATE TABLE`` statements
    and ``CAST`` functions at the dialect level, and can
    also affect the handling of bound parameters in some
    specific DBAPI scenarios.

    The encoding used by the :class:`.Unicode` type is usually
    determined by the DBAPI itself; most modern DBAPIs
    feature support for Python ``unicode`` objects as bound
    values and result set values, and the encoding should
    be configured as detailed in the notes for the target
    DBAPI in the :ref:`dialect_toplevel` section.

    For those DBAPIs which do not support, or are not configured
    to accommodate Python ``unicode`` objects
    directly, SQLAlchemy does the encoding and decoding
    outside of the DBAPI.   The encoding in this scenario
    is determined by the ``encoding`` flag passed to
    :func:`.create_engine`.

    When using the :class:`.Unicode` type, it is only appropriate
    to pass Python ``unicode`` objects, and not plain ``str``.
    If a plain ``str`` is passed under Python 2, a warning
    is emitted.  If you notice your application emitting these warnings but
    you're not sure of the source of them, the Python
    ``warnings`` filter, documented at
    http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html,
    can be used to turn these warnings into exceptions
    which will illustrate a stack trace::

      import warnings
      warnings.simplefilter('error')

    For an application that wishes to pass plain bytestrings
    and Python ``unicode`` objects to the ``Unicode`` type
    equally, the bytestrings must first be decoded into
    unicode.  The recipe at :ref:`coerce_to_unicode` illustrates
    how this is done.

    they are coerced to Python ``float`` objects.

    .. note::

        The :class:`.Numeric` type is designed to receive data from a database
        type that is explicitly known to be a decimal type
        (e.g. ``DECIMAL``, ``NUMERIC``, others) and not a floating point

        type or a subclass, otherwise numeric coercion between
        ``float``/``Decimal`` may or may not function as expected.

    .. note::

       The Python ``decimal.Decimal`` class is generally slow
       performing; cPython 3.3 has now switched to use the `cdecimal
       <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdecimal/>`_ library natively. For
       older Python versions, the ``cdecimal`` library can be patched
       into any application where it will replace the ``decimal``
       library fully, however this needs to be applied globally and
       before any other modules have been imported, as follows::

           import sys
           import cdecimal
           sys.modules["decimal"] = cdecimal

       Note that the ``cdecimal`` and ``decimal`` libraries are **not
       compatible with each other**, so patching ``cdecimal`` at the
       global level is the only way it can be used effectively with
       various DBAPIs that hardcode to import the ``decimal`` library.

         database types don't have a notion of "scale", so by default the
         float type looks for the first ten decimal places when converting.
         Specfiying this value will override that length.  Types which
         do include an explicit ".scale" value, such as the base
         :class:`.Numeric` as well as the MySQL float types, will use the

        When using the ``Numeric`` type, care should be taken to ensure

        when Numeric applies a conversion from Decimal->float or float->
        Decimal, this conversion incurs an additional performance overhead
        for all result columns received.

        DBAPIs that return Decimal natively (e.g. psycopg2) will have
        better accuracy and higher performance with a setting of ``True``,
        as the native translation to Decimal reduces the amount of floating-
        point issues at play, and the Numeric type itself doesn't need
        to apply any further conversions.  However, another DBAPI which
        returns floats natively *will* incur an additional conversion
        overhead, and is still subject to floating point data loss - in
        which case ``asdecimal=False`` will at least remove the extra
        conversion overhead.

        :param convert_unicode: Enable unicode-aware bind parameter and
           result-set processing for this Enum's data. This is set
           automatically based on the presence of unicode label strings.

        :param metadata: Associate this type directly with a ``MetaData``
           object. For types that exist on the target database as an
           independent schema construct (Postgresql), this type will be
           created and dropped within ``create_all()`` and ``drop_all()``

           object, it will associate itself with each ``Table`` in which it is
           used, and will be created when any of those individual tables are
           created, after a check is performed for its existence. The type is
           only dropped when ``drop_all()`` is called for that ``Table``
           object's metadata, however.

        :param name: The name of this type. This is required for Postgresql
           and any future supported database which requires an explicitly
           named type, or an explicitly named constraint in order to generate
           the type and/or a table that uses it.

        :param native_enum: Use the database's native ENUM type when
           available. Defaults to True. When False, uses VARCHAR + check
           constraint for all backends.

        :param schema: Schema name of this type. For types that exist on the
           target database as an independent schema construct (Postgresql),
           this parameter specifies the named schema in which the type is
           present.

                owning :class:`.Table`.  If this behavior is desired,
                set the ``inherit_schema`` flag to ``True``.

        :param quote: Set explicit quoting preferences for the type's name.

        :param inherit_schema: When ``True``, the "schema" from the owning
           :class:`.Table` will be copied to the "schema" attribute of this
           :class:`.Enum`, replacing whatever value was passed for the

    The :class:`.NullType` can be used within SQL expression invocation
    without issue, it just has no behavior either at the expression
    construction level or at the bind-parameter/result processing level.
    :class:`.NullType` will result in a :exc:`.CompileError` if the compiler
    is asked to render the type itself, such as if it is used in a
    :func:`.cast` operation or within a schema creation operation such as that
