| I'm having a problem inserting a value into a varchar datatype field, the value I'm trying to update a value in a column top 'vic' but when its updated it removes the accent above the c however in the same column there is a value š and the s retains its accent.Can anyone explain why, I know I can convert the column to nvarchar and this will sort the problem but i'm confused why one is accepted the other isn't.Also if I convert a Varchar datatype column to nvarchar would that alter any of the text at all.-----------------------------------------------Learning something new on SQL Server everyday. |

| Have a look at the ascii and unicode values for those characters.Converting to nvarchar shouldn't affect anything other than the space taken for varchars - it might have an effect on your queries though.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
