In 1.2, you can set use_unicode=True to tell it to return text-like columns as unicode objects. This uses whatever the current character set is on the connection. Prior to MySQL-4.1, there was no way to change the character set being used via the client without at least restarting the server. In 4.1 and newer, you can change this with a client configuration file or with SQL; I recommend using read_default_file. If you're not using ZMySQLDA, then this really isn't a Zope issue, and you should follow-up in the Help forum: https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=70461 -- Computer interfaces should never be made of meat. http://www.terrybisson.com/meat.html _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
