[DB-SIG] unicode woes.

[jeff sacksteder]

Access 2000 and it's newer ilk use unicode for memo fields. Python's DBI chokes when reading data out of such fields, producing an error like this-
'Invalid character value for cast specification on column number 7'.

I can state with certainty that there should be no non-ascii characters in those fields. Is there a way to alter the unicode 'cast'-ing step to drop unparsable characters?

Whereabouts is that handled in DBI?
