Tds.Ecto.VarChar (Ecto SQL v3.6.1) View Source

An Tds adapter Ecto Type that wraps erlang string into tuple so TDS driver can understand if erlang string should be encoded as NVarChar or Varchar.

Due some limitations in Ecto and Tds driver, it is not possible to support collations other than the one that is set on connection during login. Please be aware of this limitation if you plan to store varchar values in your database using Ecto since you will probably lose some codepoints in the value during encoding. Instead use tds_encoding library and first encode value and then annotate it as :binary by calling Ecto.Query.API.type/2 in your query. This way all codepoints will be properly preserved during insert to database.
