| Hello,I have noticed in many examples of TSQL code, that the developer is putting a "N" in before the single quotes to assign a string value to parameter. Could someone tell me what the significance of "N" is?Example:@step_name = N'Step 1 Email Report'instead of@step_name = 'Step 1 Email Report'Does it do some kind of formatting / error checking? I haven't noticed any differences, but would like to write the best code that I can.Thanks,JJ |
