German Umlaute in Database path

[Tombo89]

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to a database wich has a german "ü" in its path. I can't change the path of the database on the system. When i try to connect to the database it doesn't work.

the ü gets replaced with ü

`import fdb

con = fdb.connect( dsn='localhost/5145:C:/xxx/xxx/ü/xx/xx.FDB', user='SYSDBA', password='masterkey' )`

fdb.fbcore.DatabaseError: ('Error while connecting to database:\n- SQLCODE: -902\n- I/O error during "CreateFile (open)" operation for file "C:/xxx/xxx/ü/xx/xx.FDB"\n- Error while trying to open file

if i copy the database to a path without ü it works, but this is not a option for my project.

I tried so much different things but can't get it working.

Did you try utf8params parameter for connect() and dsn in utf8?

Hello,

this is awkward, I've read this section of the readme many times yesturday but must have missed this parameter. I set utf8params=True and it works.

Thanks for the hint :)
