If I have a database containing only varchar columns, with strings encoded in Latin-1 (and collation set accordingly), will converting the columns to nvarchar using ALTER TABLE commands change the encoding of the column contents to unicode (UTF-16), or do I have to convert them myself?
Yes, encoding will be changed. You don’t have to convert anything.
