Hungarian, Czech and Polish have accent marks dropped when stored in SQL Server 2000

  • Hungarian, Czech and Polish have accent marks dropped when stored in SQL Server 2000.  The SQL Server database character set is currently set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.  Should this be changed to something else in order to prevent this from happening? 

    Please advise.

    Thanks,

  • What type of accent marks are you looking for. SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS supports quite a lot of accented characters like ç,ê,è,ë,ï etc.

    You can create a simple list of all the characters contained in your collation by running this script:

    DECLARE @num int

    SET @num = 65

    WHILE @num < 256

    BEGIN

    SELECT @num,char(@num)

    SET @num = @num +1

    END

    Hope this helps

  • Thanks.  I used unicode ntext data to store the data and that seemed to have resolved the issue.
