   It very much could be that the report was about a beta versions of
MySQLdb (1.2.1b1, e.g.) but someone hurried and created a patch that forces
SQLObject to always use unicode.

   It doesn't matter if a column is StringCol or UnicodeCol - SQLObject
converts query strings at the lowest level, just before calling
cursor.execute().
   IWBN if you run the tests using MySQLdb directly, or at least patch
SQLObject to not set "need_unicode" in MySQLConnection.
