As I said, this also happens when using cqlsh: cqlsh:test> SELECT column1,value from "Users" where key = a6b07340-047c-4d4c-9a02-1b59eabf611c and column1 = 'date_created'; column1 | value --------------+------------------------------ date_created | '\x00\x00\x00\x00Ta\xf3\xe0' (1 rows) Failed to decode value '\x00\x00\x00\x00Ta\xf3\xe0' (for column 'value') as text: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 6: unexpected end of data So let me rephrase: How do I work with data where the table has metadata that makes some columns differ from the main validation class? From cqlsh, or the python driver, or any driver? Thanks, \EF
