'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xa3 in position 191: illegal multibyte sequence #953
Comments
Hi, thanks for pointing that out. I have not been able to reproduce it on Windows 10, but it's probably down to the locale or some other settings, I don't think it's worth digging really. The better question is whether we should simply add the utf-8 default, or try to detect the file encoding. For example, if the mysql server or database encoding is |
Thank you for your reply. It just solved my problem on my PC and I haven't considered comprehensively enough. As you said, trying to detect the file encoding is a better solution. |
@pasenor while it is possible to automatically detect the encoding of file contents, that is only true with some limitations. I'd also say it is out-of-scope for mycli, and that too much magic makes a tool hard to predict. We default to a Whether we should change that default based on the database encoding is a different and interesting question. If the file is in UTF-8, and the database connection type is set to |
Yes, I tend to agree that we should not attempt to magically detect the encoding. But I don't know what the "right thing" here should be, even if the connection type is utf-8, but the database encoding isn't. Perhaps we could try to read the file with the encoding specified in the connection and warn the user if it fails. If the user insists, then proceed with the utf-8 default. Worth testing in any case. |

main.py
. Then it works.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
