Can I implement Wide Character Languages in SQL Server? What data types will I need to use for strings. Could I put a block of Korean text into a Varchar? or would I need to use nVarChar?

Thanks

John

nchar, nvarchar and ntext are a double byte character set (DBCS) data types used for Unicode data. That would be your choice. See UNICODE in SQL BOL. Terry L. Broadbent - DBA
