SQL server identitical strings not matching SQL server 2014
I have 2 tables : In table 1 we insert data from the db normally , the second we use a text file and bulk insert.
I have one common string (used for join in the two tables)
in case they both shows a string with special character like Maintenance, Repair & Overhead with the same len (41)
when I try to join them , they are not joined anf returns no results
In case it is a word with no special characters such as Agile methodologies works fine ...
\Please help me in this

thx
if the date in the other db is picked-up from file...
so, what type of file is it? e.g. xml, csv
and what encoding is used?
what operating system does the file reside in?
are there any other operations on the file? e.g. secure FTP
also; are the columns the same data type and is the collation the same?
