I have a sql statement: select ‘ó’ from dual;
after running fetchall for this statement I get the following string.’\xc2\xbf’ in python.
How do I get the original text based on the string returned? any ideas?
thanks!
Update: It turns out that the fetchall might be converting the ‘ó’ to an inverted questionmark(the \xc2\xbf). any ideas why that is. I’m using
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: latin-1 -*-
??
