Wierd characters after running a DTS package

  • I recently migrated data drom database A to Database B. I used a DTS package to map the fields and copy the data over. Most of my data came over OK. But in some instances, I have strange characters:

    Â (Looks like if there was a SPACE at begining , don't know for sure)

    Æ (Appears to be in place of an apostrophe)

    û

    ô (Appears to be in place of a starting quote)

    ö(Appears to be in place of an ending quote)

     

    My question is, how do I tell SQL Server to replace them with what they should be?

    Collation-Alternate dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with the 850 (Multilingual) character set.

  • After cosiderable digging I found this:

    Search and Replace SQL Server data in all columns, of all tables

    It was a stored procedure that would search and replace in all tables in a database. With a few exceptions, it worked briliantly. The author's name is Narayana Vyas Kondreddi.

    It can be found at:
