Hello! I have gtk application with sqlite db, contain russian words.
My model <code> class Patient(Base): lastname = Column(Unicode) </code> Search operation <code> patients = self.session.query(Patient) lastname = unicode(self.lastname_entry.get_text()) if lastname: patients = patients.filter(Patient.lastname.like(u"%%%s%%" % lastname)) </code> It perfectly work if i search as 'Ivanov', but didn't return results if i search 'ivanov'. Note, i search russian words, not english. In SQLite manager (firefox plugin) search query <code> SELECT * FROM patients WHERE lastname LIKE "%ivanov%" </code> If i query db and look at value: <code> In [28]: p.lastname Out[28]: u'\u0413\u0430\u043f\u0447\u0443\u043a' </code> and than check it in query, generated by SQLAlchemy <code> In [29]: patients.filter(Patient.lastname.ilike(u"%%%s%%" % l.decode('utf-8'))).count() 2011-01-20 21:20:30,950 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x...1250 SELECT count(1) AS count_1 FROM patients WHERE lower(patients.lastname) LIKE lower(?) 2011-01-20 21:20:30,950 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x...1250 (u'%\u0433\u0430\u043f\u0447\u0443\u043a%',) Out[29]: 0 </code> It is looked like lower function in SQLAlchemy didn't understood cyrillic ...
