Question : How to find records containing Unicode characters?

Hi,

I have a table in a Sql Server 2005 database with the collation type SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Can you tell me how can I run a select query on 1 field to identify the entries with non ASCII, but Unicode characters (eg Russian characters)?

Why not look at it like this?  I'm not sure if it would work, but it seems like it should

1: 2:

select * from myTable where mycolumn <> cast(myColumn as varchar(50))

Open in New Window Select All
