Description (last modified by Malcolm Tredinnick)

Hi! First of all, django is great.
I have found the following Model:

class Story(models.Model):
        autor = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
        titulo = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
        texto = models.CharField(maxlength=200)

        def __str__(self):
                return self.titulo

        class Admin:
                list_filter = ['autor']
                list_display = ['titulo', 'autor' ]

The model is trivial, it's not the actual.
The problem I found is that if I type í or á in the "titulo" textfield within the admin and save I got the following screen:

DataError at /admin/polls/story/2/
(1406, "Data too long for column 'message' at row 1")
Request Method: POST 
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/admin/polls/story/2/ 
Exception Type: DataError 
Exception Value: (1406, "Data too long for column 'message' at row 1") 
Exception Location: c:\python25\lib\site-packages\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-win32.egg\MySQLdb\connections.py in defaulterrorhandler, line 35 

It depends on the size of the "titulo", I guess the problem is that when it serialize "í" it turns into "í" then thes size of the verchar gets bigger than the original.

Regards!

I suspect that either the Unicode merge fixed this, or your database and Django aren't thinking in the same charset. Please re-open if you can still reproduce on current trunk.
