I've run into this problem as well when working with MySQL 4.0.20c. I believe the code needs to read:
decode_from = connection.execute("show variables like 'character_set'").fetchone()[0] When issuing that sql at the command prompt, i get back the following: mysql> show variables like "character_set"; +---------------+--------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+--------+ | character_set | latin1 | +---------------+--------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) On Jul 3, 9:48 am, Michael Bayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > its this code > > decode_from = connection.execute("show variables like > 'character_set_results'").fetchone()[1] > > this bug is because you have a very old version of MySQL..if you can > figure out what the above code needs for your mysql we can patch it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
