I'll see if I can create a script that demonstrates the problem,

I found the problem, my data was not as clean as I expected and I tried to insert a non-ascii value into a string column in the database. That still leaves the lame error reporting (raising RuntimeError (None)) in the MonetSQLdb wrappers. The MapiClient does report a useful error and I've tried to compare this with the Python bindings. It turns out that the error-checking code in the python binding has ample room for improvement. I debugged my code by adding calls to mapi_error, mapi_result and mapi_explain_query to the C code of the mapi_query wrapper, but that's obviously not the right solution. Ronald
