您将传统的名称转换为Unicode字符串的字符串格式参数。理想情况下，通过这种方式，弦也应该是Unicode

但fabricate_hebrew_name没有返回Unicode的 - 它返回UTF-8编码的字符串，这是不一样的

所以，删除这个编码（'utf-8'）的调用，看看是否有帮助。

下一个问题是runql是什么类型的。如果是期待Unicode，没问题。如果它期待一个ASCII编码的字符串，那么你会有问题，因为希伯来语不是ASCII。在不太可能的情况下，它期待一个UTF-8编码的字符串，然后就是将其转换的时间 - 置换完成后

在另一个答案，伊格纳西奥。 Vazquez-Abrams在查询中警告字符串插值。这里的概念是，使用％运算符，而不是使用字符串替换，通常应该使用参数化查询，并将希伯来语字符串作为参数传递给它。这可能在查询优化和针对SQL注入的安全性方面具有一些优势。

示例

 ＃ -  *  - 编码：utf-8  -  *  -  
 import sqlite3 

＃在内存中创建数据库
 conn = sqlite3.connect（：memory： ）
 cur = conn.cursor（）
 cur.execute（CREATE TABLE personal（
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY，
name VARCHAR（42）NOT NULL） ）

＃insert random name 
 import random 
 fabricate_hebrew_name = lambda：random.choice（[
 u'ירדן'，u'יפה'，u'תמי ''你''你''你''你'，你'你'，你'你'，你'你' ，$'
 $ b cur.execute（INSERT INTO personal VALUES（
NULL，，name），dict（name = fabricate_hebrew_name（）））
 conn.commit（）

 ID，名称= cur.execute（ SELECT * FROM个人）fetchone（）
打印编号，名称

I have sqlite database which I would like to insert values in Hebrew to

I am keep getting the following error :

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd7 in position 0: ordinal
not in range(128)

my code is as following :

runsql(u'INSERT into personal values(%(ID)d,%(name)s)' % {'ID':1,'name':fabricate_hebrew_name()})

    def fabricate_hebrew_name():
        hebrew_names = [u'ירדן',u'יפה',u'תמי',u'ענת',u'רבקה',u'טלי',u'גינה',u'דנה',u'ימית',u'אלונה',u'אילן',u'אדם',u'חווה']
        return random.sample(names,1)[0].encode('utf-8')

note: runsql executing the query on the sqlite database fabricate_hebrew_name() should return a string which could be used in my SQL query. any help is much appreciated.

You are passing the fabricated names into the string formatting parameter for a Unicode string. Ideally, the strings passed this way should also be Unicode.

But fabricate_hebrew_name isn't returning Unicode - it is returned UTF-8 encoded string, which isn't the same.

So, get rid of the call the encode('utf-8') and see whether that helps.

The next question is what type runsql is expecting. If it is expecting Unicode, no problem. If it is expecting an ASCII-encoded string, then you will have problems because the Hebrew is not ASCII. In the unlikely case it is expecting a UTF-8 encoded-string, then that is the time to convert it - after the substitution is done.

In another answer, Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams warns against string interpolation in queries. The concept here is that instead of doing the string substitution, using the % operator, you should generally use a parameterised query, and pass the Hebrew strings as parameters to it. This may have some advantages in query optimisation and security against SQL injection.

Example

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sqlite3

# create db in memory
conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE personal ("
            "id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,"
            "name VARCHAR(42) NOT NULL)")

# insert random name
import random
fabricate_hebrew_name = lambda: random.choice([
    u'ירדן',u'יפה',u'תמי',u'ענת', u'רבקה',u'טלי',u'גינה',u'דנה',u'ימית',
    u'אלונה',u'אילן',u'אדם',u'חווה'])

cur.execute("INSERT INTO personal VALUES("
            "NULL, :name)", dict(name=fabricate_hebrew_name()))
conn.commit()

id, name = cur.execute("SELECT * FROM personal").fetchone()
print id, name
# -> 1 אלונה
