Hello,

since 401f43c, there is the following error in the Oracle plugin of DBManager:

Traceback (most recent call last):
              File "C:/OSGEO4~1/apps/qgis-dev/./python/plugins\\db_manager\\db_model.py", line 422, in rowCount

                BaseError.__init__(self, e)
              File "C:/OSGEO4~1/apps/qgis-dev/./python/plugins\\db_manager\\db_plugins\\plugin.py", line 40, in __init__
                msg = unicode(msg, 'utf-8', 'replace') # convert from utf8 and replace errors (if any)
            TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported

and the plugin is broken on the first database error encoutered (because Oracle db_plugin use unicode for error messages).

To fix this, we just need to add a test for unicode (isinstance) in db_plugins/plugin.py:

class BaseError(Exception):

    """Base class for exceptions in the plugin.""" 

    def __init__(self, e):
        if isinstance(e, Exception):
            msg = e.args[0] if len(e.args) > 0 else ''
        else:
            msg = e

        if not isinstance(msg, unicode):
            msg = unicode(msg, 'utf-8', 'replace') # convert from utf8 and replace errors (if any)

As the release date is tomorrow, I think we should really add this fix before...
