I’m trying to store Japanese characters in nvarchar fields in my SQL Server 2000 database.
When I run an update statement like:
update blah set address = N'スタンダードチャ' where key_ID = 1 from SQL Server Management Studio, then run a select statement I see only question marks returned to the results window. I’m seeing the same question marks in the webpage which looks at the database.
It seems this is an issue with storing the proper data right? Can anyone tell me what I need to do differently?
You need to check the globalisation settings of all the code that deals with this data, from your database, data access and presentation layers. This includes SSMS.
(You also need to work out which version you are using, 2003 doesn’t exist…)
