This same issue happens to me, too -- when reading in a field in the database that contains an empty string, the Linux/pyodbc/MSSQL stack reads it as a single space.
I suspect it's a similar issue to that which is mentioned in http://pymssql.sourceforge.net/limitations.php (Search for SELECT ''" statement returns a string containing one space instead of an empty string.). So I've similarly had to put in a hack in tools.py to strip() the registration key being read in. Aside from the issue of does this affect other areas of the framework, my question to Massimo is -- would you accept a patch to tools.py that calls strip() on the registration key, to work around this issue? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
