    Data/records in other languages

    Hi,

    Can the English version of Sql Server (or other DBMSs) store data/records in
    other languages (e.g. French, Chinese, etc.) or
    do you have to use the French version of Sql Server to store French data?

    Where can I go to read more on this?

    Thanks.
    Eric

      You can use Unicode data types (nchar, nvarchar, ntext) to store
      Unicode data, and it doesn't matter what language your version of
      MSSQL is. You can get more information in Books Online in the sections
      on "Using Unicode Data" and "Collations ".
