Andy has some examples of not very high tech solutions that involve some technology behind the scenes, but the binding factor was that someone had to see the problem first, and it wasn't one of those show stopper type problems. It's not about SQL, but we think it is on topic.

Win XP Pro limits users to one web site, but developers often need to be able to switch between sites when coding locally. This free tool let's you easily do just that. Why an article on an IIS tool on a SQL site? We think it might be useful to you or someone on your team, and lots of SQL developers use IIS as well.

On SQL Server 2025, I have a database that has this collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. I decide I want to run this code:
SELECT UNISTR('*3041*308A*304C*3068 and good night', '*') AS 'A Classic';
I get this error:Msg 9844, Level 16, State 4, Line 24 The char/varchar input type uses an unsupported collation. Only a UTF8 collation is supported with char/varchar input type in UNISTR function.What is the easiest way to fix this error? See possible answers
