I have tried to get Arabic text from Azure SQL Server databases
I defined many Collations for my database when creating it and they still not work.
Inserting text to the database I always add ‘N’ character before Arabic data .
Working with local SQL server its Ok no problems
Any Idea ?
Using
NVARCHARfor the column type you should have no issues. I successfully got an Arabic text into SQL Azure table (used google translate to translate “Hello World” into Arabic, so do not laugh or abuse if the words are actually other):
