[cx-oracle-users] Accented character coming as "?" in select query output

[johnny j. <joh...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am new to Oracle as well as to cx_Oracle forum.

Recently I installed cx_Oracle module in my Red Hat linux machine and tried
to do some DB fetch[select] from oracle.

Looks like the accented character from my Oracle table is being retrieved
as ? symbol (or) replaced to another character, not sure what was the
problem.

*Example:*

In DB                            --> output from python program

Caché                           --> Cache
Permian–Triassic           --> Permian?Triassic

Did anyone faced this problem while using this module?

I am using cx_Oracle-5.1.2 and Oracle 11g Database.

Any help to solve this problem is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Johnny
