Hi!

This is region specific issue, it's about Central European.

You see, there are some specific characters in Central Europe (I'll write them here, don't know how you'll see them though: ccšdž )

I have the data in MS Access database. Now, I try to copy the data into SQL Express 2005 database, using the script ("select * from..." MS Access table and "insert into..." MS SQL table)

The data is copied correctly except for some of those special characters (plus their capital letters)

Mind you, I have codepage=1250 in the script directive.

Should I reconfigure settings in configuration manager? Or in surface area? Or install some add-on? Or something else?

Please help!

I found out that I should change the "Collation" in SQL Express.
How do I do that?
