Hi Anshum, Thank you for responding. I defined a Book model as shown below and tried to save it from the admin shell. I am using python2.7.3 , django1.5, and python mysql driver 1.2.3. I am not sure if my model data type is wrong or if any qualifier is missing. Please help.
I got this error:Warning: Incorrect string value: '\xE0\xA4\xB6\xE0\xA5\x8D...' for column 'bookName' at row 1" class *Book*(models.Model): bookId = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) bookName = models.TextField(max_length=200,null=False,) bookShortName = models.CharField(max_length=10,null=True,) isDeleted = models.NullBooleanField (null=True,) gita4 = Book(bookName= "श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता",bookShortName="गीता" ,isDeleted=False) gita4.save() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 546, in save force_update=force_update, update_fields=update_fields) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 650, in save_base result = manager._insert([self], fields=fields, return_id=update_pk, using=using, raw=raw) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\manager.py", line 215, in _insert return insert_query(self.model, objs, fields, **kwargs) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\query.py", line 1661, in insert_query return query.get_compiler(using=using).execute_sql(return_id) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\sql\compiler.py", line 937, in execute_sql cursor.execute(sql, params) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\util.py", line 41, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 120, in execute return self.cursor.execute(query, args) File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\cursors.py", line 204, in execute if not self._defer_warnings: self._warning_check() File "C:\py\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\cursors.py", line 117, in _warning_check warn(w[-1], self.Warning, 3) Warning: Incorrect string value: '\xE0\xA4\xB6\xE0\xA5\x8D...' for column 'bookName' at row 1 On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 9:26 PM, Anshum Verma <anshum.ve...@gmail.com>wrote: > Utf8 is default support in django unless you are explicitly typecasting > to str.
