I finally understand why I see the N' in some queries and why I got "H e l l o " instead of "Hello" (with space between chars) when the application queried the "nvarchar" columns when I was creating the database. I swiched to varchar instead of taking the time to understand...Thanks!
Is someone knows where to find the list of possible collation and if they are insensitive?
Try running this:
SELECT *
FROM fn_helpcollations()
GO
OR this
CREATE TABLE #T(Name VARCHAR(50),Description VARCHAR(200))
INSERT INTo #T
SELECT * FROM fn_helpcollations()
SELECT Name, Description FROM #T WHERE Description LIKE '%case-insensitive%'
