Well, out of the box it didn't work, I pasted a sample code here:
http://pastebin.com/m104b32e0 (note that strings are bulgarian characters
not А as put by pastebin. My FreeTDS/ODBC are:
----------- freetds.conf
[Observations_TDS]
host = 10.0.0.50
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
client charset = UTF-8
odbc.ini
[Observations]
Driver = MSSQLunixODBC
Description = SQL Server
Servername = Observations_TDS
User = sa
Password = vmuser
Language =
Database = 20090610OBS
Logging = 1
LogFile = /tmp/log_observations
QuotedId = Yes
AnsiNPW = Yes
Mars_Connection = No
Sample code is:
#!/var/local/eoe/python245/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
# vim: set fileencoding=UTF-8 :
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy import Table, Column, String, MetaData, Unicode, Integer
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapper
# Table definition in SQL
#CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test2] (
# [ID] int IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
# [comment] nvarchar(100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
# CONSTRAINT [PK_test2] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([ID])
#)
#ON [PRIMARY]
#GO
# sqlalchemy 0.4.8
# python 2.4
# freetds-0.8.2 officialy patched
# pyodbc 2.1.6
metadata = MetaData()
test2_table = Table('test2', metadata,
Column('comment', Unicode, primary_key=True)
)
class Test2(object):
def __init__(self, comment):
self.comment = comment
mapper(Test2, test2_table)
engine = create_engine('mssql://sa:vmuser@/?dsn=Observations', echo=True)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()
ob = Test2(u'товарни автомобили')
session.save(ob)
session.commit()
ob_list = session.query(Test2).all()
print ob_list
Output is:

The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working
the moment you get up in the morning, and
does not stop until you get into the office.
