TEXT IN THE COLUMN: mal olor en todo el baño, cliente cambia hab.

CODE:

import interbase

con = interbase.connect(
host="192.168.1.37",
database="D://.IB",
# database="D:\\\DB\****.IB",
user="SYSDBA",
password="masterkey",
sql_dialect=3,
ib_library_name="/opt/interbase/lib/libgds.so",
charset="NONE"
)

cursor = con.cursor()

number = 300000
while True:
number += 1
print(number)
querie = cursor.execute(f"select * from tincidencias where codrep = {number}").fetchall()
for a in querie:
print(a)

If i change the charset to valid spanish charset ISO8859_1:

In ibexpert, all rows works ok, and i can see all data perfectly, configured with connetion with none.

#7

Is really the same issue like this guy so.....

[joitronix]

Tested the solution, from the #7 and worked, but manage by myself encoding is kynda.... when ibexpert a program that have more than 14 years, handles ok..., and in pyodbc works good as well and i not need to define if is none or if its iso8859 etc.

select * from tincidencias where descripcion like '%ñ%'

But not solves the example upper me, when try to query like that, not return nothing, i supose that send to the database and encode that not match the actually, and no fails but no return nothing, while in ibexpert return all rows perfectly, pyodbc too.

remember datasbe encoding none and databse column encoding none

Solved changing here:

The problem occurs when interacting with databse with charset NONE, if the databse is for example win1250 and put in the connection that charset works as expected without change this.
