Mike Bayer repo owner created an issue

released three days ago, appears to hardcode WITH_UNICODE turned on and all our character tests fail.

    Repair _execute_scalar for WITH_UNICODE mode

    cx_Oracle 5.3 seems to code this flag ON now, so remove the warning and ensure WITH_UNICODE handling works.

    Additionally, the XE setup on jenkins is having more problems here, in particular low-connections mode is causing cx_Oracle to fail more frequently now. Turning off low-connections fixes those but then we get the TNS errors, so adding an emergency "retry" flag that is not yet a feature available to users. Real world applications are not dropping/creating thousands of tables the way our test suite is.
