Author  Topic  Zack Starting Member 26 Posts Posted - 2000-08-22 : 10:14:35 Greetings, I wasn't sure if I should post this here or under admin so I decided to post it here. Is there much difference in using nvarchar instead of varchar for strings? The reason I ask is I recently upsized an Access database to SQL server 7.0 and during the process several of the fields were converted to nvarchar. I am using this database on a web site that will be used by folks in the USA only so support for unicode is not important to me. Should I take the time to convert the fields from nvarchar to varchar? I have approx 35 tables to convert. Take Care, Zack Jones
