Hi, >I have isolated the problem a little bit more: my column is defined in >the MSSQL server as a user defined type which is based on VARCHAR. > > Ok, so in this case you'd like SA to return a python unicode object when a VARCHAR is fetched, by decoding using the database's encoding? While I understand your requirement, this seems to me to be a special case. I think most people would expect a normal string in this case. I wonder if you should define a MyString class in your app and use that.
Rick - do you have a feel on this one? If we do decide to implement this, does anyone know how python can find out what database encoding MSSQL is using?
