We have inserted more than 100000 records through Import flat file functionality in sql server management studio. It was inserted successfully. But some of column values contained characters like é and ö . It got converted into while storing in sql column for all above characters like(ö,é).
Moreover the below SQL statements is not giving any results.
select * from Temp where column1 like '%%'
The data with these characters in the tables are being displayed with a symbol(question mark in a diamond).
Please help as to how can I insert the data keeping the phoentic symobols intact.
Your data contains some characters like é and ö. But when you see in the database, it's stored "?" instead of that, right?
I think, your database does not support all characters. I would recommend to change it to something like this:
character set: utf8
collation: utf8_general_ci
Hope to help, my friend :))
