All, As the subject line says, I am having some trouble passing bind variables to Oracle. When I pass a printable string value, such as 'NM', I get data. When I try to pass a non-printable character, such as 'return' - chr(13), I get no data back. I can't simply make NactionCode = chr(13), as python would change the value of NactionCode to '\r' and Oracle sees this as a two byte character, and not chr(13). I have looked into how Oracle might accept something like '\x00' for chr(0), but to no avail.
Any thoughts? thanks, Michael def goGetIt( NactivityDt, NactionCode ): dataQuery = '''select a, b, c from %s where activityDt = :NactivityDt and actionCode = :NactionCode order by %s ''' % ( schema.tableName ) dbm.cursor.execute(dataQuery, NactivityDt = activityDt, NactionCode = actionCode ) result = dbm.cursor.fetchall() return result NactivityDt = '12-apr-2005' NactionCode = 'NM' act1 = goGetIt( NactivityDt, NactionCode ) NactivityDt = '12-apr-2005' NactionCode = 'chr(13)' act2 = goGetIt( NactivityDt, NactionCode ) NactivityDt = '12-apr-2005' NactionCode = chr(13) act3 = goGetIt( NactivityDt, NactionCode ) ___________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this message and any attachment may be proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject to the work product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure.
