    <p>In the Danish/Norwegian collation of Sql server, "aa" is considered a "synonym" for å, Since that was how the letter was written in Denmark before the 1940es. This also means that "aa" is considered the last letter of the alphabet when sorting.</p> <p>I don't know whether this behavior makes sense in a Norwegian context, but I think the collation is being split in two in Sql server 2012, maybe that will fix it.</p> <p>UPDATE: According to Wikipedia, the usage of "Aa" as "Å" in Norway is similar to the Danish usage: "Aa" has been abolished by the official organizations standardizing the languages for several decades, but some towns refuse to change their names for historical reasons, and "Aa" is also still common in family names.</p> <p>Based on this, I would say that failing to find "Aalesund" when doing a search for LIKE "A%" is the most correct behavior in a Norwegian-localized application. If you refrain from using the Danish/Norwegian collation in order to change this, you should be aware that it will change other properties such as sorting of special letters, as mentioned above.</p> <p>The many different collations named Danish_Norwegian_... will not help you AFAIK. They specify behaviour regarding sensitivity to case, accents, character width, and kana type (the latter is only relevant in Japanese, I believe). "Å" is not considered an accented "A", but a distinct letter. A description of the naming conventions for collations is in <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188046.aspx" rel="nofollow">this MSDN article</a>.</p> <p>UPDATE 2: Surprisingly, it seems the collation Norwegian_100_CI_AI does what you want. Maybe the usage in Denmark and Norway is different after all...</p>

    1. COStill something unexplained though. Why does `Aa` match `A` in `Alesund` but not in `A%`?

    2. COThis sounds like it might be the problem. What collation could I change to to still support norwegian characters? What are the difference between all the different Danish-Norwegian options? (This is not my domain :))

    3. CO@MartinSmith the way I read the question, "A%" matches "Alesund", but not "Aalesund". Since "Aalesund" is really "Ålesund", this is the behavior I would expect (as a Danish speaker).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
