Thanks Mike,
1. however, I still have some questions
regarding developing dynamic web pages that interacts with SQL database.
I am having the data type for the field as nvarchar (60), say this is the
product name. How can I store and retrieve the data and to trim the string?
2. Do we really need to use unicode for multilingual support webpage? Can I
define the datatype to normal datatype such as varchar? I still can store
the data that create using chinese word processor and the information would
still store into the database, right?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Loo
