    <p>I´m new to programming, but I know how to Google, so I dare to ask you for help on this one after a lot of trial and error.</p> <p>I have a MySQL database (db name: text, table name: text) with utf-8 encoded text (Swedish) that I want to fetch into IPython Notebook using mysql-python (MySQLdb) for further processing. </p> <p>I've read the python documentation about Unicode and UTF-8 (<a href="http://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html</a>), but I haven´t been able to find concrete code examples even though this must be a very trivial problem. </p> <p>I just want the text in Swedish to show up in IPython Notebook with special characters åäö etc. As you can see I´ve put in more or less every code snippet I´ve found on the web regarding Unicode and UTF-8, but I can´t understand where I do the mistake(s)?</p> <p>Can someone please help me out?</p> <pre><code># -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import MySQLdb db = MySQLdb.connect('localhost', 'user', 'password', 'text', charset='utf8', use_unicode=False) db.set_character_set('utf8') cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute('SET NAMES utf8') cursor.execute('SET CHARACTER SET utf8') cursor.execute('SELECT title, body FROM text LIMIT 5') result=cursor.fetchall() print result </code></pre> <p>Update: This is what I get back from the Print statement: (('F\xc3\xb6rsta rubriken', 'H\xc3\xa4r \xc3\xa4r lite text p\xc3\xa5 svenska'), ('Andra rubriken', 'Ytterligare lite text p\xc3\xa5 ett annat spr\xc3\xa5k'))</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
