sql - Keep characters between collations -
im using sql server 2012. have issue have 1 database uses danish_norwegian_ci_as.
i have polish characters(and in future many other languages) shows differently.
for example if have these characters:
żśąółćęźę
it shows in database:
zsaólceze
the problem can't change collation(long story, shortly due compatibility issues).
i have column named address2 (varchar) in customers table.
in update statement tried:
update customers set address = n'żśąółćęźę' customerid = 'mycustomerid'
it still shows incorrect output if use n between value.
i have tried create column data type nvarchar , seems work perfectly. want avoid this.
well, can't. collations affect not comparing , sorting strings, way characters stored, have found out yourself. option create column proper collation or change datatype nvarchar
.
see sample:
create database ct collate polish_ci_as; go use ct; go -- difference here? select cast('żśąółćęźę' varbinary) use master; go select cast('żśąółćęźę' varbinary) go use ct; declare @t table (c1 varchar(1000) collate danish_norwegian_ci_as, c2 nvarchar(1000) collate danish_norwegian_ci_as, c3 varchar(1000) collate polish_ci_as, c4 nvarchar(1000) collate polish_ci_as) insert @t values ('żśąółćęźę', 'żśąółćęźę', 'żśąółćęźę', 'żśąółćęźę') select * @t
