| I don't count myself as a total newbie but I guess this is a newbie question : )I found that I had to precede a path 'C:\.database\sqlserver\transfer.mdf' with N so that I got N'C:\.database\sqlserver\transfer.mdf' to get my CREATE DATABASE command to work. But what is the meaning of N? It is not the first time I see something like this but I have never really learnt what it is for. And are there other operators like the N? I have not found any documentation about it, someone may have a good link? |

| Aha ... I got an error message without it, could any character in 'C:\.database\sqlserver\transfer.ldf' be interpreted as an illegal character if they were interpreted as ISO 8859-1?Thanks for your answer! |
