PPM supports multi-byte character sets when using Microsoft SQL Server as a database system.
If you want to use PPM with Microsoft SQL Server Unicode databases, please note the following:
PPM supports SQL Server databases set up for collation Latin1_General_BIN. SQL Server databases with other collations are not supported.
Assign the collation at the database level.
If you change collation settings at a later time, existing database content is not changed. For the changed database settings to become effective, you need to reinitialize the database schema of the corresponding PPM client by running the command line program runinitdb.
Warning
All imported data is deleted when you initialize the database.
