Eric,
Sorry for my typo. I mean, "it was a good clue".
I did a quit test using GDAL 1.8dev, the trunk version. I build the python
wrapper myself by running "setup.py bdist_wininst" with Python 2.5.4. That
generates "GDAL-1.7.0.win32-py2.5.exe".
That is how it goes:
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from osgeo import ogr
>>> ds = ogr.Open("OCI:scott/ti...@orcl")
>>> ly = ds.GetLayer(0)
>>> ly.GetName()
'ROADS'
>>>
No problem here.
I believe that you should use a GDAL/Python wrapper compatible (UNICODE) with
the Python you have.
By the way, what is the character set of your database?
select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS;
There is also the NLS_LANG. NLS_LANG is set as a local environment variable on
UNIX and is set in the registry on Windows.
I just following that clue, but can you use ogr.Open() with a local file, like
a shape file?
Best regards,
Ivan
