Sorry to be back at the goodly well so soon, but... ...when I execute the following -- variable mean_eng_txt being utf-16LE and its datatype nvarchar2(79) in Oracle:
cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO mean (mean_id,mean_eng_txt) VALUES (:id,:mean)""",id=id,mean=mean) I not surprisingly get this error message: "cx_Oracle.NotSupportedError: Variable_TypeByValue(): unhandled data type unicode" But when I try putting a codecs.BOM_UTF16_LE in various plausible places, I just end up generating different errors. Recommendations, please? TIA, Richard Schulman (Remove xx for email reply) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
