I'm using Python to read and write SAS datasets, using pyodbc and the SAS ODBC drivers. I can load the data perfectly well, but when I save the data, using something like:

cursor.execute('insert into dataset.test VALUES (?)', u'testing')

... I get a pyodbc.Error: ('HY004', '[HY004] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] SQL data type out of range (0) (SQLBindParameter)') error.

The problem seems to be the fact I'm passing a unicode string; what do I need to do to handle this?
