Khmer Collation support in SQL Server 2008
SQL Server ’08 using default collation as “SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS” which most/all of us knew that
- We can store Khmer Unicode (with NVARCHAR, NText etc)
- Searching Khmer Unicode ? suck !
There are work around if you really want to search content in Khmer Unicode after you stored it; using SQL Server ’08 default collation. How?
Method #1: Try to break each word using hidden space
Method #2: Encoding incoming Khmer Unicode content and stored it as ASCI
It works but it hurt; there is an althernative SQL Server ’08 introduce a few additional collation algorithm among those “Khmer_100″ is one of them.

That awesome all you have to do is changing your column collation from <default collation> to “Windows Collation -> Khmer_100″ that’s it no code isn’t that cool ?
No it’s not cool, It only works if SQL Server install on Windows Vista or Higher.
Edit: actually we can also use this
