[SQL Type] SQL.CHAR, SQL.VARCHAR, SQL.LONGVARCHAR (TEXT, BLOB or LONG in SQL) [Comments] The conversion truncates the string at the SQL field length. The handling of special characters depends on the codepage the database uses. Some database drivers/managers can't handle binary data in these column types, so you better check the database's capabilities with the included mx/ODBC/Misc/test.pyc first before using them. The handling of Unicode depends on the setting of the .stringformat attribute. In NATIVE_UNICODE_ STRINGFORMAT mode, Unicode is passed to the ODBC driver as native Unicode. Strings are converted to Unicode using the cursor.encoding setting. In all other modes, Unicode is converted to an 8-bit string before passing it to the ODBC driver using the cursor.encoding setting. Strings are passed as-is. Note that for DateTime input objects, seconds rounding is applied just like for SQL.TIMESTAMP SQL types. For DateTimeDelta input objects, seconds are truncated to whole seconds. [Python Type]
