collation settings for codepage 1255

Hi,
I am parsing some HTML and getting text from one of the tags encoded in 1255.
In visual studio everything looks ok, but after the text is saved to the DB,
all I can see is '?' standing for each letter.
I tryed playing around with the collation settings for that colomn, but I
just can`t seem to get it to work.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Elad.
Hi Elad,
I understand that you found that when the text encoded in 1255 was added to
the database, the letters were converted to '?'.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
To let me better understand your issue, I would like to know the following
questions:
1. Did you add the text by your application or manually run T-SQL statement
in Query Analyzer?
I recommend that you run the T-SQL statement in QA to see if this issue
persist.
2. Could you please give the table definition and the text content if this
issue can be reproduced in QA?
3. What is the database access provider that you used in your application?
Best regards,
Charles Wang

All I needed to do was add a capital N before opening the '.
That forces SQL server to save the string as unicode.
Problem solved.
Thank you!

Collation settings for a website in Russian

I am using html, vbscript, asp and sql server.
The website is mainly in Russian but may have some English.
The consensus appears to be that it is best to use utf-8, so I plan to use
html charset utf-8, asp codepage 65001 and ntext, nchar and nvarchar
character
types.
If the above is correct, what collation should I use in SQL Server?
Thanking you in anticipation.

It all depends on what type of data you are storing and is it
case-sensitive/case-insensetive in the DB. Run the following query and
will explain you each collation usage.
SELECT *
FROM ::fn_helpcollations()
