Hi ,
My database has to support multilingual data. (I can't change the data type to nchar or nvarchar)
I read in some article ,We can store multilingual data by changing the collation.
Can any one tell me what is the collation which supports multilingual data.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Fellas,
I have a problem and it is described as follows:
1. The user may browse any website on the internet that may be in any language and enter the data into my application.
2. The data entered can be in English or any other language.
3. That’s were the problem arises; the data that enters the database other than English is displayed in wrong format like small boxes.
4. The user who had previously entered the data in the database can also alter that data. So when I display the data (other than English) to him it is not in the format in which the user had entered.
So can anybody help me out how to manage multilingual data?
Hi,
In a table i have a column named 'Name'. It can have multi lingual data.
I have desinged a query in which i have a statement as
Select Col1
FROm TABLE1
WHERE
NAME IN (@NAme)
But for MultiLingual names is not compared.
I have declared that column as NVARCHAR.
I need to store the data from a web page having different controls to SQL Server 2000 database. The columns were created as of type "NVARCHAR", but when I enter any mixed data for example (sunder??) in two or more languages, only english characters are stored and other language characters are stored as ????. How can I solve this? Please help me out. Is it possible to store such multilingual content in a single column.

Unlike the SQL Server 2005 SP1 download page, the SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 download page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/) and the pages it references don't mention whether the download is english only or multilingual. Since there's no language selection possibility on these pages, I'm assuming it's multilingual. Am I right?
Thanks in advance.

I wish to create a table in which field contents may be in any of thefollowing languages: English, Greek and Chinese.Which architecture/structure do you suggest I use?Should I perhaps split this into 3 tables each one with differentcollations? Or would it be best to set the table to unicode? Or isthere a better option you think?

Hi,
We are building a site with Windows sharepoint services and want to integrate reports from Reporting services. We know this can be done with the Report Explorer and Report viewer web parts. Our requirement is to make the site and also the reports (that are being displayed in the Report viewer web part) multilingual i.e. depending on the user's language preference, all the labels and texts on the report should get changed.
Is there some support within Reporting services to do this, or are there other ways (resource files, custom code etc.) through which this can be achieved.
Thanks a lot,

Hello,
I've restored a SQL Server 2000 database with a Latin1_General_BIN collation from a .dmp file to a SQL Server 2005 server with a default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. When I try to change the database collation I get hundreds of the following error:
The object 'CK_PM10200_GLPOSTD_00AF8CF' is dependent on database collation. So, in this case, is it even possible to change the collation if there are objects in the database that are dependent on it?
Thanks,
Bruce
I changed the default collation of a database and every table within that except sysDiagrams , which I can't even through the designer .

I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. "
Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database?
I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider?
Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition?
Look forward to all comments?

Hello,
I'm not so new on SQL Server 2005 but i'd rather be sure on this.
I recently dumped an SQL Server 2000 database (French_CI_AS collation) and loaded it into an SQL Server 2005 instance (Latin1_General_CI_AS collation). To make things easier, we'll call this database CLIENTBOOKS. Of course CLIENTBOOKS as well as all the text columns (char, nchar, varchar, nvarchar, text, ntext) kept their original collation French_CI_AS. So I changed the database collation first using:
ALTER DATABASE clientbooks COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS
GO
Then after that i dropped all indexes concerned in these tables (there were only 4), i changed all table columns' collations using the following script (except for tables dbo.dtproperties and dbo.sysdiagrams):
DECLARE @@TableName NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @@ColumnName NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @@ColumnType NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @@ColumnLengh FLOAT
DECLARE @@SQL NVARCHAR(1000)
DECLARE @@IsNullAble NVARCHAR(50)
PRINT 'ALTERING TABLE COLUMNS...'
DECLARE my_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT sysobjects.name FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype='u' AND sysobjects.name <> 'sysdiagrams' AND sysobjects.name <> 'dtproperties'
OPEN my_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM my_cursor INTO @@TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DECLARE my_column CURSOR FOR
SELECT syscolumns.name,systypes.name AS TYPE, syscolumns.length ,syscolumns.isnullable
FROM syscolumns INNER JOIN sysobjects ON sysobjects.id=syscolumns.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.extended_properties ON sys.extended_properties.minor_id=syscolumns.colid AND sys.extended_properties.major_id = syscolumns.id
INNER JOIN systypes ON syscolumns.xtype = systypes.xtype
WHERE sysobjects.xtype='u' AND sysobjects.name=@@TableName AND (systypes.name='TEXT' OR systypes.name='NTEXT' OR systypes.name='NVARCHAR' OR systypes.name='VARCHAR' OR systypes.name='CHAR' OR systypes.name='NCHAR')
OPEN my_column
FETCH NEXT FROM my_column INTO @@ColumnName,@@ColumnType,@@ColumnLengh,@@IsNullAble
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
IF (@@IsNullAble=1)
BEGIN
SELECT @@SQL =( 'ALTER TABLE ' + @@TableName + ' ALTER COLUMN ' + @@ColumnName + ' ' + @@ColumnType + '(' + CAST(@@ColumnLengh AS
NVARCHAR) + ') COLLATE ' + ' Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL')
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @@SQL =( 'ALTER TABLE ' + @@TableName + ' ALTER COLUMN ' + @@ColumnName + ' ' +
@@ColumnType + '(' + CAST(@@ColumnLengh AS NVARCHAR) + ') COLLATE ' + ' Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL')
END
PRINT(@@SQL)
EXEC(@@SQL)
FETCH NEXT FROM my_column INTO @@ColumnName,@@ColumnType,@@ColumnLengh,@@IsNullAble
END
CLOSE my_column
DEALLOCATE my_column
FETCH NEXT FROM my_cursor INTO @@TableName
END
CLOSE my_cursor
DEALLOCATE my_cursor
PRINT 'ALTERATION DONE'
GO
Once i did that, i re-created the 4 indexes again (i generated the create scripts before dropping them).
Can i be sure now that the textual data (char, nchar, varchar, nvarchar, text, ntext) will not be corrupted? Will it be like if i recreated a new database with the correct collation, as well as the necessary tables, and inserted the data into the tables?
Thank you for reading downto here ;)
Take care all :)

When trying to use the report editor in VS 2008, I noticed that there is no longer an option to use an XML data source (either a file-based or URL-based source). This is a major omission given that so many services nowadays are exposed via REST-style interfaces.
Please advise if I'm missing something! I'm using the February CTP.
Thanks,

i am unable to use the Text Qualifer in SSIS package Flat file connection manager Editor, it says, "The flat file parser does not support embedding text qualifier in data",why is that?
it was supported nicely in DTS 2000. also I have no control on Source file TXT. so I can not eliminate the Text qualifer (") from the file.
any advices.

I have a website and related database in English version, now I am trying to start with other language, such as Chinese.
The first problem I am facing is: search a user name when user name is Chinese:
For example: English version: SELECT u_name FROM Users WHERE u_name = 'eric', it will return a value, but if I type: SELECT u_name FROM Users WHERE u_name = '艾瑞克', even if the table cell has the 艾瑞克 record, it won't return anything.
Search online, there are a lot of articles, since I am pretty new for this, can you let me know where to start? How to change the collation for the existing db, do I need to create stored procedure for the search?
I would like to solve this problem start from my MSsql 2005 database. If that works fine, then I will go to my web application.
Thanks a lot.

while i'm learning BCP from books online, i got a doubt.
copying data between different collations.
what exactly the meaning of collation?
i tried in BOL. but because i'm a junior, i didnt got the good idea about collation.
please explain me
thankyou friends
Hi,
I am just trying to understand about how collation and unicode work in SQL Server. My database's collation is Latin1_General, and I set one column in one table to have collation Cyrillic_General.
Then in Windows PC where I am running an application that is connected to my database, I set Mongolian Language from Regional Settings. When I typed using Mongolian Keyboards and save the characters into database, then I can retrieve the cyrillic characters back into my application.
However, when I checked into database using Query Analyzer, those characters are saved in the column, that has collation Cyrillic_General and with nchar data type, apparently using codepage 1252, my database default codepage. My application and my database server are located in two different machines and I don't install Mongolian language in my database server. So that when other web application reads those characters from that column, even my browser has been set to use Cyrillic encoding, still it showed as characters from codepage 1252.
Could someone explain me what actually happens here?
Thanks very much before.

Hello AllI'm a bit confused about collation settings so needed some info. onit. My database server is currently using SortOrder asLatin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive,kanatype-insensitive, width-insensitive for Unicode Data, SQL ServerSort Order 52 on Code Page 1252 for non-Unicode DataI have a table:CREATE TABLE [PD_RUSS3].[pdtable_185]([iso_area_indx_no] [int] NULL ,[lineid_1] [varchar] (16) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL ,[iso_type] [smallint] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]I have a nonclustered, UNIQUE index located on PRIMARY oniso_area_indx_no, lineid_1, iso_typeHowever I'm able to load a file with these entries:45 '16-XX-WCS' 145 '16-xx-WCS' 1I thought that this would fail because of the above settings. Pleaseenlighten me on what I'm missing here..??thanksSunitJoin Bytes!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I have SQL Server 2005 database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation, and there is a little problem when inserting Cyrillic text. It works fine when I use SQL Server Management Studio to open specific table and insert new row manually. Problem appears when I use SQL queries. For example: INSERT INTO Customer (ID, Name) VALUES (1, "Владимир"). ID is type of int, and Name is nvarchar.When I execute the query, value of ID is OK (it is 1), but insted of "Владимир" the value of Name is "????????" (only question marks).I am not sure now, if I should change database collation(and what to put), or I should change column type of "Name" column.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhich collation format should I use?
SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS, SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS
I noticed that my development server has a different collation setting to the production server.
development. SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASproduction. Latin1_General_CI_AS
Both these servers are SQL Server 2005 Express and I typically use varchar or text fields for storing the data.
I've been told that the difference between them is that the former uses code page 1252, as specified here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.mspx
However when I compare that to, say, the page of symbols one gets using the 'Insert, Symbol' command via microsoft word I find quite a disagreement. It also differs from the 'View, Clip Library' list provided by TextPad.
The data in my database uses non-ASCII characters (or extended ASCII, if you prefer). The administrators of my CMS will sometimes copy and paste or write European spellings for company names etc. When they do that they're likely to resort to Word's Insert Symbol command. When I get this data and show it on a web page I want to specify utf-8 endcoding.
Which of these SQL server collations should I be using. I suspect that I should be using SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS. Essentially, I want the charater as seen in the textbox of the CMS to look identical to that displayed on a web page which has the following meta tag set: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
The aforementioned CMS administrators are entering data on Windows XP PCs running asp.net. They may get the accented characters from several different sources (MS Word Insert Symbol or cut and paste from a web page), but they can agree with me that the symbol should display in the text box of the CMS identically to that on the web site.
Can someone put me right on this?
what's the difference between SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and Latin1_General_CI_AI What the SQL and CP1 mean in SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS?and which one should i use?

I require the command syntax to return the collation properties for a database at table and column level in both SQL7 and in 2000 for an entire database.
Hopefully for all tables and for all columns in the db.
Does any one have the script for this command????
If you do let me know.
Problem as below.
On one server (ServerA) a query works. 2000 server that may have been upgraded from versions 6.5 - 7.0 - 2000
Collation = SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, Sort order=52
On server B the query doesn't work but has same Collation = SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, Sort order=52.
I restored the databases from Server A onto Server B and ran the same query and it fell over with this error message.
Server: Msg 451, Level 16, State 2, Procedure Bills, Line 3
Cannot resolve collation conflict for column 2 in CREATE VIEW statement.
Server: Msg 4413, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not use view or function 'Bills' because of binding errors.
