using Unicode with MS Sqlserver 7.0

[Tague Griffith]

All :-

Is it possible to use Unicode (UCS-2) as a database encoding with
Sqlserver 7.0 *without* using the N*/Unicode datatypes (e.g. nchar,
nvarchar, ntext)?

Also according to the documentation, it is possible to change the
character set of the database at install and creation time; however, I
haven't seen anything which allows me to do this.  Does anyone have any
pointers.

thanks,
