Re: [cx-oracle-users] Unicode and cx_Oracle

[Massa, H. A. <ch...@gh...>]

Hello Anthony,

mode. What this means is that for Python 2.x you can now use Unicode for

I only use the Win32-Versions of cx_Oracle; and that was exactly my
experience from the existing *-unicode builds. Just that it was not a "can
... use", but a "must ... use"; that is: using the *-unicode build all
"strings" have to be unicode. And all results are unicode, too.

I use that older unicode build exclusively in an application. What I would
need to run tests would be a win32-bundle. Would it be possible for you to
make that available somewhere?


And as a feedback to using the allready-existing-unicode builds: it takes
some time to convert the applications, BUT it really, really saves a lot of
hassle in the long run --- a lot of smal challenges with wrong characters,
surprising encodings... all went away.

best wishes

Harald
