How to pass encoding in Teradatasql?

Question

I need to connect to a Teradata.table which has encoding = "Latin-OA", using teradatasql in python.

I tried to pass encoding as a parameter but I don't think it is the correct syntax:

with teradatasql.connect(host='xx.xx.xx', user='xyz',
                         password='xyz', charset='Latin-OA') as connect:
    query = 'select * from db.table'
    df = pd.read_sql(query, connect)
    print(df)

What is the correct syntax to pass encoding here?

Answer 1

The teradatasql Python driver does not offer a charset= connection parameter.

The teradatasql Python driver always uses the UTF8 session character set.
