the collation of the database dosn't matter when you specify the column collation, can you test it on a different database, possibly tempdb ?

I tried new database and set collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and then created table

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DESC] (
[ITEM_CODE] [nvarchar] (15) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[DESCRIPTION] NVARCHAR(200) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CS_AI NULL ,
[ITEM_DETAIL] [nvarchar] (1000) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CS_AI NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

Insert [DESC] (ITEM_CODE,DESCRIPTION)
Values('xxx','}±^örÅ£t"KëP' COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CS_AI )

select * from [DESC]
it's the same old problem
xxx ??????????"???? NULL

then I tried new database and set collation was Chinese_PRC_CS_AI
and created table with the same script above it's ok
