[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import ibm_db_dbi

conn = ibm_db_dbi.connect('DSN=MYDB')
cur=conn.cursor()

cur.execute(u'''create table temp.kill_me
                (
                   dummy varchar(500)
                )
        ''')

# silently crashes app
cur.execute('''
    SELECT 1
    FROM temp.kill_me
    WHERE dummy<>'привет, Индия' ''') # <- any cyrillic text

2. Save .py in UTF-8 encoding

3. Application silently crashes

Issue 78 has been merged into this issue.

This is happening due to you have send out a string object which contains some 
non ASCII characters, and internally we called PyUnicode_FromObject() API to 
get an Unicode object(from both string and Unicode object) but this API return 
NULL because string object has some non ASCII characters. 

Segmentation fault is happening through PyUnicode_AsUnicode() API because we 
are passing Unicode object which we got by PyUnicode_FromObject() but in your 
case it was NULL.

For the text which contains non ASCII characters must be Unicode by adding 
prefix u'...' or by encoding it by encode() function.

I will apply the check which you have suggested through issue-78 so, it will 
give some relevant Error message instead of segmentation fault.

p.s.
Please not open more than one issue for same kind of problem.
