I've seen a couple of issues regarding mssql and drivers handling of strings but I haven't been able to resolve my problem.
I have a flask app with flask-sqlalchemy models defined and a simple query is throwing the above complaint about decoding the string. My connection string: mssql+pyodbc://[...]/[...]?trusted_connection=yes&charset=utf8&deprecate_large_types=True A Which is given to the SQLAlchemy class instance db after the initialization of the app with: db.init_app(app) The offending model: class Annotations(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) creation_date = db.Column(db.DateTime, default=datetime.datetime.now) created_by = db.Column(db.String, nullable=False) annotation = db.Column(sqlalchemy.Unicode, nullable=False) annotation_type_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('AnnotationTypes.id')) The query: db.session.query(Annotations.annotation).all() I've replaced the original column type db.String with sqlalchemy.Unicode on the field that throws the error as per an earlier question on this list but it hasn't resolved the problem. Could someone offer any pointers? Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
