Description

The statement would raise codec error when "params" contained non ASCII strings at sql.py: sql_query = q % params It's better to use django's force_text processing to handle it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The bug is in sql.py where `sql query = q % params` causes codec errors with non ASCII strings. The fix is to use Django's `django.utils.encoding.force text` to safely handle the params. Look at the existing codebase for similar patterns and add a test case with non ASCII characters to verify the fix.
