Description
In readme VARBYTE is stated as supported as Python's bytes
type. When trying to query data VARBYTE data from Redshift, 'utf-8' decoding error is thrown.
Reproduction
import redshift_connector
DROP_DDL = "drop table if exists varbyte_repro"
CREATE_DDL = """create table varbyte_repro(
my_var varbyte
);
"""
INSERT_DML = "insert into varbyte_repro(my_var) values (from_hex(SHA1('hello')))"
QUERY = "select * from varbyte_repro"
with redshift_connector.connect(
host="replaced",
database="replaced",
user="replaced",
password="replaced",
) as conn, conn.cursor() as cursor:
conn.autocommit = True
cursor.execute(DROP_DDL)
cursor.execute(CREATE_DDL)
cursor.execute(INSERT_DML)
cursor.execute(QUERY)
Expected
Last cursor.execute
runs without issue (so that later something like cursor.fetchall
could be used)
Actual
Error thrown:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xaa in position 0: invalid start byte
