I'm looking at upgrading a sql server database with approx 120 tables to support unicode.
Would this mean that every varchar field has to become an nvarchar ? And char to nchar ? If so, is there an easy way of doing this without writing an alter table for each field in the db ??
Any alternatives, advice or experience in internationalising a sql database would be appreciated
thanks
