Example Code

from datetime import date
from typing import Optional, Union
from sqlmodel import SQLModel

class Person(SQLModel):
    name: str
    birthdate: Optional[Union[date, str]]
    ....

Description

I want to store information about some people in a MySQL database. Due to the nature of the information, birth dates can be full dates (1940-05-02), month and year (1932-07) or years only (1965). I searched the pydantic documentation and it says to use Unions to accept multiple data types. However, when I try to do this sqlmodel raises the error TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a class. I know the issue comes from union because if I remove it then the code works just fine.
