International - Multiple Language Database Design.
Mar 11, 2008
Could anyone provide me an example of the effective way of design a database support multiple languages. Currently I working to design a database for travel website which support 3 different languages, and more languages will be added in in the future. One of my friend advice me to put different languages into the same table for example
Table Hotel
ID
Description_EN
Description_ES
Description_FR
Location_EN
Location_ES
Location_FR
....
But I don't thing it's a good idea to do so since in the future if I would like to add more languages I have to modify the table and I have to replace all of the sql statements. I am seeking for the best solution , could anyone help.
Thank you very much

Dear All,
Is there any feature in SQL Server 2000 through which I can translate my Database into different languages at runtime.

Good Morning to Everyone :-)
We're having DB Design discussions in our office for a new project. Basically, we're trying to decide on a DB Solution that allows us to manage multiple online communities. We expect to have several hundred thousand users (about 100k per community), and each user will have associations to user-specific content on the community level.
At some point, we expect to have to export one or several communites into their own Datasource. This will be a downstream event that will not affect us in the immediate future.
In terms of administering the DB and each community, we're having trouble deciding between generating this DB in one inclusive datasource vs creating multiple datasources (one for each community). With that in mind, any advice or suggestions that anyone may have on this subject would be appreciated.
FYI -- We're running CF v4 and MSSQL v7.
Our concerns are as follows:
Data Structure Issues (what abilities/SQL functions will we lose when implementing multiple DB's vs one DB? We definitely have a need to be relational at every level of this application.)
DB Performance (will a one DB solution run more efficiently on MS SQL v7 with high traffic than several DB's?)
Administration (It's our understanding that multiple DB's will cause us to lose our ability to perform table joins, etc. Are there any other shortcomings that we should be aware of?)
Stability Issues (We've heard that one DB vs Multiple DB's will have fewer threads. We've also heard that MS SQL v7 becomes increasingly unstable as more threads get created. Is this true, or is our understanding of this issue wrong?)
CF Integration Issues (How will CF v4 react to handling a large amount of high-traffic DSN's vs. having one DSN and the same amount of traffic?)
Thanks in advance for all your help. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
I have to create a database (SQL2005) for multinational usage (Western, Eastern and asian langages included).
This database will be used by an international application.
Here are my questions :
* All the "wording" of the application will come from NVARCHAR database fields.
However, for database fields which will not store any possibilities of special characters (and will not be shown on the application), should I also use NVARCHAR fields ?
(Then, the database will mix unicode and non unicode strings)
* The database must be replicated (transactional or Merge) with an "old" non international database on SQL 2000.
Schemas are near the same, only datatype are different (varchar --> nvarchar).
Then, should I use a SQL collation instead of Windows Collation as advised on MSDN ?
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175194.aspx
(MS tells to use Windows collation if the database has unicode and and non-unicode strings, but It also tells to use SQL collation to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of SQL)
Thanks,
J62

I have a single database and 5 user which use this database for DDL and DML operations.
The problem we are facing here is, every time a user need to do some work in this database he/she had to ask(manually) to rest of the 4 users whether they are doing some task over the same DB or not. Sometime due to communication gap one user open any transaction which creates a deadlock for another user to execute any query over the same tables in this DBI want to get rid of this problem by making it configurable from SQL Server part so that if any user which is already accessing this DB, so the other user don't get access to it, Â kind of Mutually exclusive behavior.
How to do this.

Hi All,
I am designing database where few of the master tables will reside in different database or in case different server. Scenario is
Server "A" with Database "A" may host the "Accounts" table.
Server "B" with Database "B" may host the "Product" table.
I am designing database "Project" which will hosted in Server "A".
My application requires this master tables [readonly access] as data inserted in my application refers this tables. Also there are reports to be generated which refer this tables.
How do i design my database and sql queries?
I am thinking of approach of having equivalent tables created in my database and writing service which keep tables in my database in sync. This will ensure good perfomance during transaction and reports as they will need to refer this table locally as opposed to different database or different server.
Any thoughts on above approach?? or any better/standard way for such scenarios ?
Thanks in Advance. Your inputs will be of great help.

Hello:
My client has a db with the following structure:
Online US Searchable Map of the 50 US States. Users search criteria is the following: Query records by selecting state, county, then record. Each County table has 10-20 tables. All databases combined = 500MB and TLogs = 100MB.
How would you re-design a relational DB where users could query data by state-county-record. Currenty the DB's are created by the County of each state which creates hundreds of DB's in SQLServer with no realtionship to each US state. What would be the best design to ensure good performance, data integrity and maintenance? Would you create 1 DB with all 50 states, create 4 DB's and divide by region(N,S,E,W), 50 DB's of each state or leave it as is with each county it's on DB? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thx

I want to have a linking table say for example we call this a claim. Based on the claim number you need to relate to one of say 6 different types of claims. The types of claims related to their own individual parent table. (individual because each type of claim tracks completely different information) does anyone have an idea on how to set this up?
Sample Structure
table = Claim
Field 1 = ClaimTypeA_ID
Field 2 = ClaimTypeB_ID
Field 3 = ClaimTypeC_ID
Field 4 = ClaimTypeD_ID
Field 5 = ClaimTypeE_ID
Field 6 = ClaimTypeF_ID
The six field relate to the 6 different tables ID.
If I do this how do I store the data? put 0's in each of the claim types that are not used???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We have a Silverlight based application which currently supports only one production version. Idea is to support three concurrent versions of the same application and user will switch to the newer versions based on their interest or they can still continue with the older version.
We still have to use the existing database for all these three versions.
What is the best way to architect this so that we can differentiate the code between the versions and still keep the data in sync and run all the versions in parallel.

Hello
I have 3 related tables: MuscleGroup, MuscleCategory, Muscle.
For all those tables I want the name and description in multiple languages.
Therefor I need your best suggestions storing multiple language columns in sql or even better a standard way for multiple language storage.
Thank you
P.S. I started that question/thread several times (sometimes even with diagram pics) but I never received a very clear instruction or standard.

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.

Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!

Quick background....
I have a file that is currently in Bulgarian (not unicode) that we want to import into a development environment for testing. However, the only way I can view the file as "non-gibberish" is for me to switch my local settings (on the OS) to Bulgarian. Then of course the file is readable in Bulgarian.
Now they have sent the following snipet of code asking if I can somehow add this to the DTS package? The purpose of this code is to...
They're sending me a C# routine to transpose the 10 or so Bulgarian-specific characters in the text fields.
They hope we can include this routine in the DTS package.
Here is the code....
private string StrFix( string InStr )
{
string Result = InStr;
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2591', 'ð' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2592', 'ñ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2593', 'ò' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2502', 'ó' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2524', 'ô' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2561', 'õ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2562', 'ö' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2556', '÷' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2555', 'ø' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2563', 'ù' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2551', 'ú' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x255d', 'ü' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x255b', 'þ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2510', 'ÿ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2552', '¹' );
return Result;
}
My questions... (as I'm not familiar with C#)
1. Do you guys see anything I'm not?
2. Is it possible to add this code to DTS package and have it change the 10 characters?
3. Wouldn't this be easier if their sample was in unicode?
Thanks in advance

hi all
We are a multi site / multi language company so do not want to hardcode the date format - these reports will be on intranet
Using MS Sql - Reporting Services 2005
RecvdDate field = yyyy-mm-dd - is how it is displayed.
I added a @startdate and an @enddate parameter and am using the
calendar - so a user picks off the calendar
I read up and saw this information:
Report properties set
'Language' setting to '=User!Language' to detect user
culture automatically
My regional settings are set to English (New Zealand)
but whatever I do I receive no data - (data is definately there eg when run without parameters) so it is obviously the parameter that is incorrect.
Can someone give me some advice on what else to check.
thanks

Hello!
This is a new problem to me being a junior, and I'm quite sure this is a problem that will occur for more and more people as time goes on.
My company has offices from around the world, and naturally there are databases all over the place. We have a main one which the sites run off here in the UK, otherwise we use SAP (like so many others) and Viper. There are also apparently Marketing databases which I have never even seen...
There is a nightly import into the main databases, but its choking fairly regularly and the data we are getting out is outright filthy.
Anyway, the boss wants a "data firewall" with a rules engine sitting on top controlling what is clean and what is not. Sounds great, but I don't really know where to start. Does anyone have any advice on a design for this? We are currently using SQL Server 2000 but should be moving to 2005 very shortly (not 2008 it seems :-( ).
Is this something I can develop in a .net language or can it be done purely on a SQL Server basis? Keep in mind the rules engine which should have a useable interface for a techie who is not heavily trained in SQL Server (like a .net developer).
Apologies for the long post and thank you very much for any inspiring (or not) ideas. :-)
Timmy

I am developing a Content management system of sorts and I want it
to be pretty flexible. I have noticed that with web content (News,
Articles, Events, FAQs) that there is a lot of similarity between these
items. They all have the same basic fields:
TitleSynopsisBodyStartDateEndDate
(for News, Articles, FAQs start and end date can be used for content
expiration. For events, they are used for the actual event dates.)
But for some types of content, I will need fields specific to that
type. For instance, I want to have a few custom settings for a "Photo
Gallery" type, like, how many rows/columns of thumbnails to display per
page.
I feel like I have 3 options, but would really appreciate your advice. I created diagrams for the 3 options, located here: http://nontalk.com/dbdesign/
