I noticed that to access MS-SQL databases, Dabo uses the pymssql module. Is it possible to add another backend, which uses the pyodbc module?
While it may be slower, it has the following advantages: 1. It passes Unicode strings intact, without coercing them to a 8-bit encoding (this is a deal-breaker for using Dabo in a project on which I am working). (see: http://www.zak.co.il/tddpirate/2007/12/25/choosing-a-python-module-for-accessing-microsoft-sql-server-unicode-data/) 2. It is supposed to allow you to access all DBs available in the MS-Windows platform. I am very new to the Dabo source code, but I am willing to hack together an pyodbc using backend if someone is willing to hand-hold me and tell me exactly what files I should add/modify, and then review my contribution before committing it to the repository.
