Question

I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. I want the retrieve the row from table in which data is other than than English.

But when I type the command it returns me nothing.

SELECT * 
FROM PARTY 
WHERE NAME LIKE 'رانا عطا ربانی' 
ORDER BY SRNO

Any suggestions, how to retrieve record like that?

Answer 1

Have you tried declaring the string literal as unicode?

SELECT * FROM PARTY 
WHERE NAME LIKE N'رانا عطا ربانی' 
ORDER BY SRNO
