    I have a table in which a couple of columns (varchar) is having ASCii characters so how do i find them using a sql query?

    Thanks.

    ALL characters in a varchar column are ASCII characters. Which characters are you looking for? Just "control" characters such as TABs, CARRIAGE RETURNs, LINEFEEDs, etc?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
