-- Open These views with QGIS
--   You can label the ticks view with this expression : "CASE WHEN m % 5 = 0 THEN h END" to get hour numbers
--   Set categorized styles on typ and unit to set different styles for dials, and for the hands
-- Please tweet your best clock designs with #PostGISClock hashtag

create or replace view ticks as
select 
	m as id
	, case when m % 5 = 0 then 'h' else 'm' end as typ
	, m % 5 as h

Print to the console in Python without UnicodeEncodeErrors 12 Jan 2014
I can't believe I just found out about this! If you use Python with unicode data, such as Django database records, you may have seen cases where you print a value to the console, and if you hit a record with an extended (non-ascii) character, your program crashes with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "foobar.py", line 792, in <module>
    print value
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)
