Description

The error I'm getting is
TypeError at /admin/dbasite/dbeventhistory/add/

coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, datetime.datetime found

This occurs after doing a simple add using the automatically generated code by the Django admin interface.

I'm running Django 1.0, using cx_Oracle to connect to an Oracle database.
The cx_Oracle I have installed is version 5.0.1 but this exact same error also happens using version 4.4.
I have reproduced this error using Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g. On Oracle 10g, I tested using Oracle characterset WE8ISO8859P1 and UTF8 - the error still occurs.

I have a very simple model defined as:
class DBEventHistory(models.Model):

event_date = models.DateTimeField()
description = models.CharField(max_length=1024)
dba = models.ForeignKey(DBA)

def unicode(self):

return self.event_date

class Meta:

db_table = u'DB_EVENT_HISTORY'
verbose_name_plural = ('DB Event History')

The trace back I get is:
