Hi everyone,
I'm trying to manage read and write operations of utf-8 unicode strings
with SQL Server (sqlalchemy 0.9.10), but I'm having some problems. I
correctly write the strings to the database, but when I read them back and
try to convert to unicode I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Impara 01\Desktop\t.py", line 18, in <module>
print unicode(row[0], "utf-8")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 0:
invalid continuation byte
Process terminated with an exit code of 1
Here is a sample code showing the problem:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy import select, create_engine, MetaData, Table, Column
import datetime
engine =
create_engine('mssql+pyodbc://MYHOST\SQLEXPRESS/user?trusted_connection=True&charset=utf8')
metadata = MetaData(engine)
t = Table('test', metadata,
Column('unicode', sqlalchemy.dialects.mssql.VARCHAR())
)
t.create()
s = "àèìòù"
s = unicode(s, "utf-8")
t.insert().values(unicode=s).execute()
res = select([t.c.unicode]).execute().fetchall()
for i, row in enumerate(res):
print unicode(row[0], "utf-8")
Can anyone point me out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
