Some questions:
Is it just non-ascii that is problem.  Because I just read an article that 
implied that MsSQL does not support UTF-8 directly.  But converts UTF-8 to 
UTF-16.  But this is about the way the bytes are arranged. 

So is it the bytes or some other issues that we are dealing with?

And then there is the encoding stuff.  Default for MsSQL is latin-1 but what 
does that mean?  And how does it relate to unicode, and UTF-8?

Then there is the issue of python 3 (and I think 2.6) requiring unicode.  How 
will this effect what we will do to fix the issue today?
