Hi

I have created a test database. and changed the collation to Japanese_CI_AI using "alter databse test collate Japanese_CI_AI " command. Created a table with a column xxx datatype varchar and if i try to insert a japnese character in this column its giving error. Can any body tell why this is happening?

I am running sql server 2000
alter command run successfully.

Thanks
Ramakrishna

Try creating your columns using NVARCHAR to cater for the japanese collation. Use NCHAR instead of CHAR, NTEXT instead of TEXT, etc.

cheers
