Hi,

I am looking to check and set the encoding of the database using sql
commands that work both for SQL-Server and JET.

something equivalent to the postgreSQL commands:

'SHOW server_encoding'


Thanks in advance,


Maarten

In SQL Server you can set the collation per table column if you like.
But there is a default collation for the server, which you can find
with

SELECT serverproperty('Collation')

The default collation for a database can be determined with:

SELECT databasepropertyex('Db', 'Collation')
