Thai and Sqlserver 7?

Is anyone familiar with the Thai support availible in Sqlserver? I don't see CP874 listed as one of the supported code pages in Sqlserver 7. Is Thai one of the languages that is supported only through Unicode? Is it supported in Sqlserver 2000? Any pointers would be appreciated. thanks /t

Re: [OT] Unicode-compatible SQL?

DB2 also supports Unicode in a manner similar to that of Oracle (see my previous message), although it allows for UCS-2 or UTF-8 as the database encoding. I really don't have that much experience with DB2 so I can't tell you if there are any glaring omissions or problematic gotchas. Most of the

using Unicode with MS Sqlserver 7.0
