I have just started to work with sqlalchemy and there is one thing I 
can't figure out.

I am using Firebird SQL 2.0 and kinterbasdb 3.2, and I have some blob 
columns defined as:

NOTES           MEMO /* MEMO = BLOB SUB_TYPE 1 SEGMENT SIZE 80 */,

CREATE DOMAIN MEMO AS
BLOB SUB_TYPE 1 SEGMENT SIZE 80 CHARACTER SET ISO8859_1;

The call to create_engine includes " encoding='utf-8'," but any blob 
column is returned as a string instead of Unicode.

varchar columns are returned as Unicode.

I am working on an existing database, so I adapted the script from on 
this page http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/AutoCode and 
it generated the model for the notes column as "sa.Column( u'notes', 
sa.TEXT(length=None,convert_unicode=False))".

So, first I thought it had to do with the convert_unicode param but the 
same is used on the varchar fields which work fine for me.

Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong.
