i want to solve it inside the procedure not while execution
something like @Name=N+@Name
so when execute it's not nessesary to put N prefix

Does the column has an Arabic collation?
ASKER
database collation is (sql_latin_general_cp1_ci_a
i didnot bound any coulmn with any collation so column collation should be (sql_latin_general_cp1_ci_

MR\Vitor
in my case user can store arabic or english values in the same column actually in the same field
i want in my stored procedures take parameters whatever arabic or english and execute successfully without n prefix in my
execute statements my database collation is (sql_latin_general_cp1_ci_
my question is (is (sql_latin_general_cp1_ci_
-if yes, why data stored like ????? when store arabic
-if no,when i tried to change database colltion to Arabic_CI_AS give me the following error
![error.JPG]()
what can i do in steps please?
thanks

in my case user can store arabic or english values in the same column actually in the same fieldPlease let me know how are you doing this, because I never saw a case where that's possible.
my question is (is (sql_latin_general_cp1_ci_No it can't. Can support all occidental languages as English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, etc... but not oriental languages as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, ...as) can support arabic and english?)
-if yes, why data stored like ????? when store arabicThat's a proof that it can't store Arabic characters.
-if no,when i tried to change database colltion to Arabic_CI_AS give me the following errorThat's because Arabic collation isn't compatible with Latin_General collation so SQL Server can't perform the necessary conversion.
With all that said I still keep my suggestion:
"What you can do is to create another column only for Arabic and keep the current one for Occidental languages. "

arabic and english can be together in the same column and in the same field
below is a picture for an example database but this database collation is Arabic_CI_AS
![arabic-and-english-together.JPG]()
but my problem is my original database created with latin collation and i want my Nvarchar columns store data like previous example

What is the collation for the EXPERT3 database? And for t1 table and Name column? I don't think they are a sql_latin_general collation, right?
ASKER
MR\Vitor
EXPERT3 is in Arabic_CI_AS and i didn't bound any table or column with a collation so table took the database collation.
the problem is my original database collation is Sql latin general and all it's tables and columns and when i tried to change database collation to arabic error occur and when i tried to change column collation arabic doesn't exists in drop down list to choose from table design.
you think the only solution is to create a new database with arabic collation and execute original database script to it or there is a solution ?
thanks

You're not sending the parameter with N for nvarchar:
EXEC [Product].[SP_AddProductCategory] N'تيشيرت'
