Xiaobing Zhou updated HIVE-9456:
--------------------------------
Description: There are significant issues when Hive uses MSSQL as metastore
backend to support unicode, since MSSQL handles varchar and nvarchar datatypes
differently. Hive 0.14 metastore mssql script DDL was using varchar as
datatype, which can't handle multi-bytes/unicode characters, e.g., Chinese
chars. This JIRA is going to track implementation of unicode support in that
case. (was: There are significant issues when Hive uses MSSQL as )
