Actually, that doesn't really apply to ADBAPI. Twisted's ADBAPI  
doesn't care what you pass to its runQuery/etc methods -- it simply  
passes that on to the database. It can be a unicode string or any  
random object, as long as the database adapter accepts it. It's hard  
to say what might be going wrong without a traceback, of course.
