Thank you alot.

this is the duty of presentation layer. as such you should change the font in the FE or GUI not in the database and its not possilble and its not logcally correct also. And also please tell us why you want to change the font in DB?

|||Do you mean change the font, change the encoding, or change the collation? The font isn't stored in the server, the encoding is set by the application, but the collation of a column can be changed for a specific language or ordering. You can find more information on SQL Server collations at:

|||I mean encoding, before user use font VNI-Times (Vietnamese language ) and save to database, now, if we show it with Unicode, we can not read anything, so that I am finding solution to convert encoding to Unicode.I intend export to excel, and import with some option that can change font encoding (if have any ).

How 2 create an effective search on NTEXT ?

Dear SQL,

since I create some multi-language table - I want to allow finding unicode text
so I made the field:Key_Words" (ntext)

It will have a string that can include some words in different languages, so that I can find by using:
SELECT Key_Words FROM MyTable WHERE Key_Words LIKE '%" & MyVar & "%' "...

The problem is that I can not apply clustered index onntext field (or *any* index...)

Any ideas how to deal with it ?SQL Server "large" edition and full text search.

Only way.|||Thanks,

I was trying to avoid reading about this stuff...

but I guess there is no escape 4 me :-(
