Hello guys,

 

I have table with

  USER VARCHAR(100) CHARACTER SET WIN1250,
  NOTE BLOB SUB_TYPE 1 CHARACTER SET WIN1250,

 

But when I pick up data from this table with kinterbasdb in python 2.7 (# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-) VARCHAR field is ok but BLOB field seems to be "corrupted" and I must decode it with decode('cp1250'). Why this happens? Why it is necessary to decode BLOB field only and not VARCHAR?

 

Thanks for help
