Collation confusion (may be not)

Hello to everyone
I am litlle bit confused with the following sitatuion
OS (Win2000 SERVER) has COLLATE HEBREW_CI_AS (Let me call it A)
I have database (Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive,
kanatype-insensitive, width-insensitive for Unicode Data, SQL Server Sort
Order 138 on Code Page 1255 for non-Unicode Data) and employee table.
In the table we have Lastname column declared as VARCHAR(50)
Now I'm sitting on another Server with OS (Win2000 SERVER) COLLATE
LATIN-CENERAL...
I registered the 'A' SQL Server and with QA I performed SELECT lastname
From Table ,works fine (I see all lastname's in hebrew) after that I did
exactly the same statement but by EM and instead of lastname's I have seen
question's mark.
What is going on? Can some shed light on the problem
Note: I know that I can declare NVARCHAR(20) and change COLLATION and it
will be worked but my question is
Are there different ways SQL Server perfoming query by QA and EM.? Why I see
my lastname column correctly when I perfom the query with QA and questions
mark by perfomning the same query with EM
(Note: I am sitting on another server and registered to server 'A' with EM)
Thank you.The "show all rows" function in Enterprise Manager uses non-Unicode
controls. This means that Enterprise Manager can't be used to view data
that is not defined in that client machine's ANSI code page (see
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage, value "ACP" to find out
what this is on a given SQL client machine, but don't change the code page
directly from this reg key).
In other words, don't expect that you can view arbitrary Unicode data from
that feature in Enterprise Manager. Query Analyzer, as a fully
Unicode-enabled app, can be used to display or store any Unicode data.
HTH,
Bart
