Hi!

I am having a problem concerning collations.
I have an SQL Server 2000 with Latin1_General_CI_AS

which contains the company data.Some of the fields are Greek and although I
cannot view them correctly in the Query Analyzer , the tool we are using
(powerbuilder) displays them OK.

now that w e want to go Internet we are facing problems with the Greek
fields not displayes correctly...
What can we do in order to have them displayed correctly?

Thanx in advance!

Hi
Do you define the column which displays the database as NAVARCHAR(n)?

Well. please read article aboit UNICODE in the BOL

If so, you are going to alter the table and change the datatype
