Pulling Chinese characters into SQL Server via SSIS/DTS

  • I am pulling data from China using 2 different methods. In one case, a text file is sent to an FTP site and a .dts package accesses it and pulls the data into tables on the SQL server. In the other instance, I am connecting to a SQL server 2000 box in China and pulling data via SSIS. In the first case, the Chinese characters are readable in the FTP file but if I query the table on my box and dump it into EXCEL, they are not. I do not know if the problem is the underlying data or the interface.

    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • Run a search for Chinese collation sort in the BOL. Sounds like the collation in the database could be presenting a problem. Hope this helps 🙂
