I am using SQL server 2005 and one of my field in house_no as nvarchar, which contains hindi, numeric and both combination values like -
* 1
* 2/1
* 31/1सी
* 3 मैन्ट भवन
* हट मैन्ट भवन
* 12ूूू
* 14ु
* ैुौ
Now I want to delete the all illegal charterers like ू or ैुौ and many more from string and preserving rest. I have used replace() function but it is not working on hindi characters. Please suggest me the solution. My database is big nearly about 200GB and I have to replace all such characters.

Since this is not an ANSI-related problem I suggest you to seek help in the MS SQL section: Microsoft SQL Server - dBforums

darn, and here i was expecting an ANSI solution from you anyway

ok I have posted the my question in MS-SQL Server section.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. Maybe I should write an answer using REPLACE...
