[SQL Type] SQL.WCHAR, SQL.WVARCHAR, SQL.WLONGVARCHAR (TEXT, BLOB or LONG in SQL) [Comments] The conversion truncates the string at the SQL field length. Non-string objects are passed through unicode(obj, cursor.encoding) to convert them to Unicode objects, except numbers, which are passed through unicode(obj), i.e. without using the connection encoding. The handling of Unicode depends on the setting of the .stringformat attribute. In EIGHTBIT_STRINGFORMAT and UNICODE_STRINGFORMAT mode, 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. In all other modes, Unicode is passed to the ODBC driver as native Unicode. Strings are converted to Unicode before passing them to the ODBC driver using the cursor.encoding setting. Note that for mxDateTime 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]
