    <p><em>I think this is a deeper issue than you realize</em>. Simply changing the file from Unicode into ASCII is easy, however, getting all of the Unicode characters to translate into reasonable ASCII counterparts (many letters are not available in both encodings) is another.</p> <p>This Python Unicode tutorial may give you a better idea of what happens to Unicode strings that are translated to ASCII: <a href="http://www.reportlab.com/i18n/python_unicode_tutorial.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.reportlab.com/i18n/python_unicode_tutorial.html</a></p> <p><strong>Here's a useful quote from the site:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Python 1.6 also gets a "unicode" built-in function, to which you can specify the encoding:</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; unicode('hello') u'hello' &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; unicode('hello', 'ascii') u'hello' &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; unicode('hello', 'iso-8859-1') u'hello' &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>All three of these return the same thing, since the characters in 'Hello' are common to all three encodings.</p> <p>Now let's encode something with a European accent, which is outside of ASCII. What you see at a console may depend on your operating system locale; Windows lets me type in ISO-Latin-1.</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; a = unicode('André','latin-1') &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; a u'Andr\202' </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>If you can't type an acute letter e, you can enter the string 'Andr\202', which is unambiguous.</p> <p>Unicode supports all the common operations such as iteration and splitting. We won't run over them here.</p> </blockquote>

    1. COThanks for pointing out the potential problems. However, I do not run the risk of having non-convertible unicode characters within the content of output file. It is just outputting the SQL schema of an internal database and does not contain any characters out of the ordinary i.e. beyond ASCII.

    2. CO@Ray Vega: That you know of right now. It's a mistake and potential bug to assume that unicode data will only ever have ASCII characters.

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.
