Ignore Latin And Other Foreign Characters In Text Search.

Hi, i have a query that goes like this


select *
from Users
where UserName Like =@Username;

the values for 'UserName' go like this

Adrián
Jesús
Fernández
Güero

all of them have spanish accents. is there a way to make the "like" value to ignore the spanish characters? (á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, etc)

That is because the user will not always write "Jesús" they will write "Jesus" or they will not write "Adrián" they will write "Adrian"

so is there any way to tell the SQL Server engine to ignore those characters?

thanks!!!
