Question : Query To Detect if unicode data exists in field in SQL Server 2005
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to detect if a particular field in an MSSQL 2k5 database table contains unicode characters ( i.e. russian, chinese, etc ).
Essentially, I have a table with lots of values in different languages and I want to pull the info for ONLY the ones that contain unicode data and not fields that do not contain unicode data.

One quick way would be to use something like this:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE PATINDEX('%[^[ a-z0-9!@#$%^&*()-_=+]%' ,myfield) > 0
You might have to add more characters to this, but this is just a quick example.
