Here in Greece, we have a huge problem with data inserted by users.
e.g. the user writes the name “ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ” in a field.
The problem is that the first “A” is English, the rest in Greek.
Capital letter “A” ( like many other letters in English ) are visually similar,
but in an sql SELECT statement we don’t know what to write to find anything.

Is there any way to find character sequence that contain two or more different “charsets” ? the fields are NVARCHAR

thank you

I have a database in MSSQL Server 2008 that have 3 tables.

There is a column in each table that contains data in Hindi’s KurtiDev Font (non-unicode),

I want to convert that data into Unicode form.

please suggest me any tool or process to do my task.

Thanks in advance….

I installed SQL2008R2 to my new laptop but it hasn’t the collation I need for my databases. On my old laptop it was ‘Latin1_General_CI_AS’ and on my new one it is ‘SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS’.

All my old databases I’ve attached, but when I create a temp table I get error messages that the collations are not the same. So SQL can’t compare the varchar fields that I use to make a join.

Frank Meijer

I’ve quite different problem. In my production DB I’ve recently modified size of one varchar(30) to varchar(256) and then after the related SPs stops functioning and after research work I’ve found that it is because of collation problem.

So, can you please tell me what execectly it is, what to do in order to solve this issue and do I need to each and every SPs that uses this table..

Thanks.
