[python-sybase] Unicode SQL

[Marcos Sánchez Provencio]

Hi there.

¿Is it possible to issue a query such as "select 'año' "? (in case it
does not show, between the a and the o there is a n with a ~ on top, a
very usual char in Spain/España).

It works from tsql (include with freetds)::

marcos@cynar:/usr/local/Webware/WebKit$ tsql -Scazalla -Usa
locale is "es_ES@euro"
charset is "ISO-8859-15"
Password: 
Msg 5703, Level 0, State 1, Server CAZALLA, Line 0
Changed language setting to us_english.
1> select 'año'
2> go

año

===================
Using Python

SELECT 'año' from usuarios 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "etcPythonSybase.py", line 227, in ?
    rs=con.lookup(sql)
  File "etcPythonSybase.py", line 203, in lookup
    cur,con=self.lookupRS(sql,params)
  File "etcPythonSybase.py", line 122, in lookupRS

    status, result = self._cmd.ct_results()

Unclosed quotation mark before the character string

I appreciate any pointers. The client is linux, freetds, the server is
SQL2000.
