I have created a report that may display Chinese, Korean and Japanese characters. Everything is fine on the report itself when rendered in the browser, all the characters are showing as it should be, but when I try to export it to pdf, all these characters turned into question marks ????.
I've tried installing Adobe Asian pack, but still I can't make these character shows up.
Can anyone shed light on this? I'm doing a local report only BTW. Would there be any effect if I'll do it as a server report?
Any thing that could get me started would be greatly appreciated.
We should support multiple language(Latin,chinese,japanese,korea) in one report when exporting to PDF format in reporting service. We have used Arial Unicode as our font. But when we exported the report, the korean language item can not be displayed. Any idea on that? Thanks a lot.
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name. CREATE TABLE Names (FirstName NVARCHAR (50), LastName NVARCHAR (50)); I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character. I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding. I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View. I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters. Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also? Thanks
int codePage = 950; StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder(); Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage); byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str); . message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':"); for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++) { message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars); }
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars)); Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

Hi,I need to input Chinese character into the table of the database. I did try to install/run both Chinese/English version of Visual Studio into Chinese/English version of Server 2003 but it still didn't work.Please help !stephen
I hope somebody can help me with this. I have different points to solve. However, I€™ll make some simple questions and then I€™ll decide to continue explaining. In a pc having Windows 2003 Server and SQL 2005 in English lang installed, II can see into the fields of an Access db Chinese characters. I€™ve made a tool to transfer the information to a new SQL db, but when I go to see into table€™s fields, I only see €œ????€?. I€™ve tried to make the import directly from SQL Server, but the result was the same. When I read the values from a VB6 app, the ones read from Access are correctly showed, but not the one read from SQL. In both cases I see only €œ?????€?. But, using in another pc with regional settings changed to Chinese the same application, I can see all the Chinese labels. Shall I need to make the transfer with the Chinese lang downloaded into the pc? Shall I need to set the db in a particular way? I have inside the db some tables having latin characters (European names) that I need to maintain, so there will be data in at least 2 languages: Chinese and English. The second problem is regarding a text box control to insert numeric value. If I insert the numer 3.4456, once the value is added to the db, it returns 34456. Decimal point is ignored. This happens in machines having Windows in Chinese and Windows in English with reg. settings changed to Chinese. Thanks in advance for your help.
I add some records to two tables after createing operation completed.
Then i use dbcc page command to oversee the structures of data page in two tables. I found some interest things: The rows in two tabes take up same space:9 bytes
You can see the "9" on top of the data, for example:Slot 0, Offset 0x60, Length 9, DumpStyle BYTE or calculate from the offset array

Hello,I have some multibyte characters and I want to put them into table fields.how I can do this? Just storing them will result in a ? when reading /showing them.thanks & regardsMark
Here I got some problems with my application. (ASP & English Version SQL Server 2000)
As we are using English MSSQL Server 2000, we got some new functions and we have to facilitate support of Chinese characters in the DB. I have set the collation for those Chinese fields already and those queries or Stored Procs for Chinese are working fine, ONLY if I execute them in Enterprise Manager. Chinese characters can be displayed in the relevant tables.
However here comes the big problem and I got really frustrated. As we will provide user interface in ASP pages, we 'll let users to insert the information which will be sent to the DB. If there's Chinese characters in the query string, the Chinese characters added in the DB would be garbled.
e.g. EXECUTE proc_TestChinese 'XYZ', 'test123' (assume XYZ be those Chinese words)
I am wondering if there's any way I can solve this problem. Should I add special handling for these Chinese words? I have set the ASP pages in UTF-8 or Big5 encoding but it doesn't help. Hope you experts can show me the way out of the mess. Thanks in advance!
Hi,my client requires a multilingual website including Japanese and Chinese. When I try to add text in Japanese and Chinese into the MSSQL database it says the data is not consistant with the data type or length, do you know how I can get round this??any help or direction would be greatly appreciatedMike
Hi,I have a problem with my Stored Procedures...Recently we decided to change the type of our column in our databse fromvarchar to nvarchar because of new customers (chinese).Everything works fine EXCEPT the stored procedures... When i try to passchinese characters for a simple SP that those a basic insert in my table, itinserts ??? instead of chinese characters...Did i miss something obvious?Thanks a lot!Etiennep.s.: you can email me at Join Bytes! or reply on thisnewsgroup.
SQL 2000, latest SP. We currently have the need to store data from aUTF-8 application in multiple languages in a single database.Our findings thus far support the fact that single-byte anddouble-byte characters can be held in the same DB without issue.However, when holding two sets of DIFFERING double-byte characters(i.e. Chinese and Japanese) there are issues.Since Japanese has a superset of both Kanji and Katakana charactersit's our theory that the Japanese collations will hold Chinese as well(Mandarin).1) Has anybody tried to store multiple languages in the same db? Whatcollation was used?2) Is it possible to change collation by table?3) Which collation of Japanese should be used for best multibyte,UTF-8 character sets? Currently we're testing with Japanese_CI_AS(encoding MS932).Any and all responses appreciated,Join Bytes!
When I installed SQL Express first time a few days ago, it work ok. But, after removing all sql server componets through 'control panel'->'add or remove programs,' something seems wrong in the registry because the re-installation of SQLExpress will never success with an error
The System Configuration Check for Performance Monitor counter registry value has failed. For details, see How to: Increment the Counter Registry Key for Setup in SQL Server 2005, in the readme file or in SQL Server Books Online.
------------------------
in setup configuration checker. I follow the instructions in help page and try to set the values "Last Counter" and "Last Help" in '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib]' as same as the values "Counter" and "Help" in '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib]'.........but the data type are dword and string resp. So, setup checker will think the values are different and no way to reinstall the SQLExpress.
Can anyone tell me how to fix it or just let me know SQLExpress not for Chinese XP SP2?
Dear Friends, I'm preety new to the concept of globalization & all. Basically my requirments is very straight-forward. I have a table structure is as follwos:
the second & the third column has data in Simplified chinese and their collation is Chinese_PRC_90 The data is getting properly inserted and retrived.
But i'm not able to use "where" clause in the query where the value specified is Chinese. I tried LIKE as well as in IN, but everytime empty dataset is returned.
Is there anything special i have to take care of to enable this feature.
1. I have problems on displaying chinese on reporting services. e.g. §C¯Ã—ª´ºÃ€J´Ã”³½¬h¶º(¤Ã–»¶) The data type of the fields is char. Is it possible to display chinese using this database setting but not setting the data type to nvarchar?
2. On the other hand, there is mislocation of the controls. If I put a textbox on another textbox, one of the textbox will not be in the orginal location but in somewhere nearby. The same situation appears for the case of images. How can I "lock" the location of the controls?
I need a small confirmation regarding storing the Chinese and Japanese characters in sql server. Can we store Chinese and Japanese characters on a same database with Chinese Collation? Or else we need to store it separately with respective collations. I tried to store both characters on db with Chinese collation it works but I am not so sure if it is right way to do so. Please confirm on this as we are doing research stage to build website in Chinese and japanese. Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to change the font that the data viewer uses, so that the Chinese characters don't appear as boxes? The data viewer displays Chinese characters as boxes, something similar to [_], at least on a computer with the following regional settings.
get-wmiobject CIM_OperatingSystem | ft OSLanguage, CodeSet, Locale
OSLanguage CodeSet Locale ---------- ------- ------ 1033 1252 0409The data itself is flowing correctly into the target database with a pipeline data_type of DT_WSTR. The ideograms can be seen by query utilities which supports a unicode font (e.g. Management Studio).
My application supports multiple languages/locales in a single database. Some of our new customers want to support Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Spanish, and German in addition to English. Supporting the Latin based languages is not a problem. But I am having trouble finding a collation sequence that allows me to store the other double byte languages in the same database correctly.
I have found changing the data types from text, char, varchar to ntext, nchar, nvarchar and adding an N in front of the various strings that getting inserted seems to work:
insert into CONTENTDATA (recordid, xml) values (newid(), N'<CHANNEL1><FILE1/><TEXT1><![CDATA[和红é”拉拉队的动感精神 ]]></TEXT1><TEXT3><![CDATA[和红é”拉拉队的动感精神]]></TEXT3></CHANNEL1>');
But this is not going to be a practical solution for us. Is there a collation sequence that would allow us to store multiple locales like we do in Oracle (AL32UTF8)?
I have gone to the page http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/default.aspx to download the 64 bit version of the Management Studio for Vista 64 bit... and its in Chinese.
This is the double astrix version at the very bottom of the page specifically for Vista 64...
Is this something I am doing or is this download link actually to a Chinese Download??
Can someone point me to a download link that is English...
I have set up a full text search to handle multiple columns searching for chinese But the result of the search isn't really what i have expected. I have setup the catalog to have a chiense word break, and the columns in the tables are all nvachar when i do something like select * from dbo.Table_1 where contains(*, '"<chinese character>"',language 1082) the search result is really inconsistent, especially with single characters.I have also checked that these characters are not in the noise filter file.... the search result is better when the input is more than a single characters, but still, somtimes it will not return any result at all. so, I try to use the "like" statement instead of "contains" to do the search with the same inputs, and 100% of the time, it returns the correct result. does anyone have any experience about things like that? coz I guess this is a more spcific issue with language. Is there any place that you guys know of, can offer me some help? thank you in advance.
We can see the chinese language without any problem.However, when I open the upper report on my Report Builder, the chinese words are broken looks like below.This symptom happens after windows10 upgrade from window7 , once I use windows7 , there was no problem to see report builder.Â
