When fetching thesame data back from the database I return a string andI found the quirk mentioned in the subject while writinga unit test for this. It's not a showstopper.The above just was a hint not to deprecate the bufferobject until we've come up with a decent replacementthat's easy to adapt in existing code.-- Marc-Andre LemburgCEO eGenix.com Software GmbH_______________________________________________________________________eGenix.com -- Makers of the Python mx Extensions: mxDateTime,mxODBC,...Python Consulting:http://www.egenix.com/Python Software:http://www.egenix.com/files/python/
