  Hi!

  I'm just new working with SQL Servers. I would like to know how you set the codepage in SQL Server to be able to handle multi-byte characters (e.g. Chinese, Thai, etc.)

  Hope someone can help. Thanks!

  you'd need unicode, check out BOL, and most importantly you ideally want to figure this one out before installing sql server
