hello michael, as usually, you were faster than me to answer.
after reviewing my surrounding code to fix additional bugs there, i've just found the answer: a bytearray is needed as sql param. i've built the buffer from an image with BytesIO. im = Images.new() image = BytesIO() im.save(image) buffer = image.getvalue() param = dict(picture=bytearray(buffer) thanks a lot for your consideration :) alex there was no need to use pyodbc.Binary, since it has the very same effect.
