Summary: Fails in col.py if DBMS does not specify encoding

Initial Comment:
If the DBMS does not have an encoding specified then SQLObject fails in col.py complaining that the 2nd parameter must be a string not None.  This situation could easily exist in databases migrated from MySQL 3.x.

The solution seems to be to add a test in the 'from_python' method of StringValidator'.  I put it after the call to getattr.
if dbEncoding == None:
    dbEncoding = 'ascii'

Code was added via SQLObject-0.12.0-py2.6.egg
