Author  Topic  negmat Starting Member 20 Posts Posted - 2006-12-05 : 17:52:34 Guys, I have a table with a single VARCHAR column. The COLLATION for this column is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. Some of the values contain 'greek' or other European language characters (e.g. µ). Does anyone know how I can identify all the rows in a table which contain non-english characters? I was thinking to use something like the following: SELECT TOP * FROM TestTable WHERE NAME NOT LIKE '%[A-Z]%' ... but that does not seem to work Any ideas? Thanks a lot
