You should make sure that the collation of both your database and the tables is the same. Specifically you should set them both to Arabic_CI_AI_KS_WS as your comment suggests.
Slowly changing Dimension always updating
Question
I have a dimension to load which has a field called description
with a data type of VARCHAR(50)
. Its collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CS_AS and it contains Arabic data such as "مركز العقبة". Its source has the same type, size and collation, but every time I load the dimension this field gets updated! Why does this happen?
