You're right. I stole this idea from APSW, another SQLite wrapper, which does this by default in order to reduce memory usage and increase performance a little bit for the common use case of ASCII text. You might argue that that this is premature optimization, but things like this do make a difference if you process a lot of text. Using this feature should be pretty compatible to the default of always using Unicode, because `unicode` and `str` have pretty much the same interface. But I wasn't 100 % sure, so I kept the old pysqlite default of Unicode only and made the optimized case using OptimizedUnicode an option. > At any rate, my compliments for a new release (which looks great!) of a > most excellent module!
