INF: How to Transfer Korean Double Byte Character Set Chars

ID: Q162367

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0, 6.5

SUMMARY

To transfer Korean Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters from one SQL Server to another SQL Server, you must do one of the following:

Run BCP commands.

Use Transfer Manager from a localized operating system, such as a Korean version of Windows 95 or a Korean version of Windows NT.

MORE INFORMATION

When a Microsoft SQL Server is not installed with the Korean Character Set and sort order (Code Page 949), it is still capable of storing Korean characters in a SQL datatype that provides sufficient storage. However, because the U.S. version of Windows NT is Unicode based, transferring these DBCS characters from one SQL Server to another by running BCP commands or using Transfer Manager under the U.S.version of Windows NT will generate invalid data.
