Localization In SQL Server- Is There Such A Thing?
Apr 30, 2007
Hello all,
I'm working on an ASP.NET with a SQL server for database. Some of the tables, for example, contain information such as different types of Fabrics (silk, cotton, etc..) . I'd like to have this table localizable (English and French for instance). Is this possible ? Is there an equivalent of resource files in SQL server ?
Or do I have to do this manually ? (have 2 separate fields in the table for those 2 locales)
Hi. I have distributed databases in different language versions, I am creating a stored procedure, and this problably in future is going to be migrated to other SQL Server database. the query that I have inside the stored procedure is this: Insert Into Prueba Values(14,'31/07/1999') -------> format date of this query is in Hispanic version (this works fine) But, If this query is migrated to other SQL Server and it's version would be in English, that query wouldn't work, the principal reason is the format date. Solution that I have on mind is creating a stored procedure that receives three parameters the month,day and year. I want to identify the localization of that SQL Server database and use "IF" conditions and inside of these concatenate month,day and year obviously depending of the date format identified through "IF" conditions. If somebody has an idea to solve this or somebody knows how to identify the locatization in an SQL Server database I would be thankful. Thank you again and best regards. Christian
I am implementing a "customizable resource provider" for Globalization based on Sql Server instead of resource files. After reading the following articules:
I was able to produce a library that save local resources and and retrive resources from Sql Server using "GetGlobalResourceObject() and GetLocalResourceObject()", but I am having trouble to make it work with "Intelicense".
I think that the issue is related to class derived from "System.Web.UI.Design.DesignTimeResourceProviderFactory" class.
Does anyone knows where I can get more information regarding customizable resource provider and intelicense?
I have a table called country that will store all the country related details in it. Below is the screenshot of my country table.
I want to localize this table to Japanese language. I googled out and found out that a new table needs to be created for storing the data in localized language.
If that's the case do we need to manually translate the text in the country table for each and every country?
Is there any automated process for that? Just like not translating the text manually for each and every rows..
This is because I have few more tables in which the text are not static. they will get loaded on a daily basis. So i will not be able to translate them every day..
In a previous post, someone helped me with creating stored procedures, and I am grateful because I am transitioning from the Access World. Anyway, I get an error at .ExecuteNonQuery in visual studio 2005 when I run the following code: Dim strsql As String Dim strconn As String strsql = "sp_Roster" strconn = "server=xxxx; user=xxxx; pwd=xxxx; database=xxxx;" With comm .Connection = New SqlConnection(strconn) .CommandText = strsql .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure With .Parameters.Add("TeacherID", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = "DawsMark@aol.com" End With With .Parameters.Add("ClassID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = classid End With With .Parameters.Add("sID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = ssID End With With .Parameters.Add("sLastName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = lastname End With With .Parameters.Add("sFirstName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = firstname End With With .Parameters.Add("sMiddleName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = middlename End With With .Parameters.Add("Student", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = fullname End With With .Parameters.Add("Password", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = password End With .Connection.Open() .ExecuteNonQuery() With comm.Connection If .State = ConnectionState.Open Then .Close() End If End With End With The error was: Error converting data type char to int. The stored procedure in sql server was as follows CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Roster -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here@TeacherID varchar(50),@ClassID int,@sID int,@sLastName varchar(50),@sFirstName varchar(50),@sMiddleName varchar(50),@Student varchar(50),@Password varchar(50)ASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON; -- Insert statements for procedure here INSERT INTO Roster (TeacherID, ClassID, sID, sLastName, sFirstName, sMiddleName, Student, Password) VALUES (@TeacherID, @ClassID, @sID, @sLastName, @sFirstName, @sMiddleName, @Student, @Password)ENDGO The error also says "sqlexception was unhandled by user code. This is strange because this code worked perfectly when connecting to Access and when I used oledb. So how is it the code's problem? Is the stored procedure causing the error or the code. Can someone please help. thanks. <Edited by Dinakar Nethi> Please mask your useird/pwd info in the connection string when posting to a public forum like this </Edit>
I would like to write a fun or stored procedure to do some operation. It require me to know that what category is currently belong to certain people(people_table: category_table1 to Many)However, when i use the select statement in stored proc, it return a set of result, not a scalar , therefore, i cannot use the variable to hold it. In addition, there are no array in SQL server.Question:1. Is there any way to hold the collection of result(like array)?2. Also, how to determine to use fun or stored procedure?(Since a integer is need to return by them)Thx
Every morning our sql server runs very slowly which means our log on page times out on a simple query. If we stop and start the sql server everything runs fine for the rest of the day until the follwing morning. the server is not used out of business hours excpet for a few very small and simple jobs to delete records, These all run to completion. Any help with this would be much aprreciated! Thanks. Rob
Hi All,I already have a web site running with SQL Server as a backend (inenglish)For future growth, I would like to make it localized. Regardingthe database, I have come up with several approaches.1) just simply add the column in those table which needs differentlanguage.2) add additional tables to do it.3) create a new database to store different language's informationAs mentioned, my database have already been implemented, so the minimummodification is preferred. Could you guys suggest me the best way to doit?Another thing, if I alter my existing database into UTF-8 now, will itaffect the original data (ie. English).Thanks.Ice
Hi,I have a simple 'user' table and an ASP form that connects to it. Iwant users of all languages to be able to type in their registrationinfo, in their own language, store it that way, then have another pagethat displays it.Are there any specific settings I need in SQL Server to handle this?Thanks

Hello,I am working on a Blog and a Documents systems.What I need is:1. Each blog can have various language versions.2. Each document can have various language versions.I have been thinking about this and I end up with two approaches:1. Use a structure where all tables depend on a localized table:BLOGS|---- BlogsLocalized|---- BlogsPosts|---- BlogsRatings|---- BlogsComments2. Use a structure where each table has a localized versionBLOGS|---- BlogsLocalized|---- BlogsPosts|---- BlogsPostsLocalized|---- BlogsComments|---- BlogsCommentsLocalized3. Create a simpler, without localization, in SQL and in my web sites have different versions for each language.The same approach is under thinking for DocumentsTables.Could someone give me some advice?I have been looking in internet but until no I couldn't find anything really useful.Thanks,Miguel
Hi everybody, I have a question does it possible to have the param prompt in the different language without doing multipe report for each language, I saw it is possible for the label, but I didn't see how to do for the prompt param. I hope someone could help me. Thank you.
Is there a synonym for the group BUILTINUsers which can be used for GRANT ... TO and sp_grantlogin/sp_grantdbaccess, but which will work on localized computers?
I have a number of automated unit tests I wish to run on two different computers. The process involves recreating a database if it does not exist and then granting access and privileges to the BUILTINUsers group.
The problem is that one computer is installed with a Swedish Windows XP Professional (the users group is called BUILTINAnvändare) and the other is an English WinXP MCE (the group is called BUILTINUsers) so I cannot easily script this.
An alternative is to be able to retrieve the respective name through a .NET class or the Windows API.
I want to translate de interface of the Report Manager to Portuguese. I'm develop a class that implements
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.IReportViewerMessages The class is in a file called "ReportViewerMessages.cs". The structure is like this, the project is called "PortugueseReportManager", there is a namespace named "PortugueseReportManager" and the name of the class is "ReportViewerMessages".
So far so good, but when I change de web.config file in the report manager folder I'm getting over and over this error message when I try to see a report: The type PortugueseReportManager.ReportViewerMessages, PortugueseReportManager, Version=1.612.19.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5cdefa29ce50bd9e does not implement IReportViewerMessages or could not be found
Hi everyone,I followed the steps below to localize the report viewer control accoring to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251723(VS.80).aspx" Deploying Localized Versions of ReportViewer ControlsThe ReportViewer control includes language packs for eight languages: Chinese-Simplified, Chinese-Traditional, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. To use a localized version of the control, you must do the following:1. Run ReportViewer.exe.2. Navigate to the folder that contains the language pack you want to use. Language pack folders are located at <drive>:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0BootStrapperPackagesReportViewer<lang>.3. Run ReportViewerLP.exe." But I could not find the ReportViewerLP.exe in the step 3. Could anyone please tell me why?Thanks a lot.Danny
As a burgeoning SQL developer I have never really understood the need for SQL Server / Enterprise Manager to show us the whole dbo.Table name thing. What is dbo, and why do we need to know deal with it?With that said, in my SQL 2005 Express database all of my project tables for my project management demo were named guard.pgUsers for example and not dbo.pgUsers.How come? Why did they get named different on their own?
SELECT row_number() over (order by MAX(HeadlineDate)) as Number, COUNT(ArticleID) AS [Count], MIN(DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(HeadlineDate) - 1), HeadlineDate)) AS HeadlineDate FROM dbo.ZMArticle WHERE PortalID=0
GROUP BY MONTH(HeadlineDate), Year(HeadlineDate) ORDER BY MAX(HeadlineDate) desC
SELECT row_number() over (order by MAX(HeadlineDate)) as Number, COUNT(ArticleID) AS [Count], MIN(DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(HeadlineDate) - 1), HeadlineDate)) AS HeadlineDate FROM dbo.ZMArticle WHERE PortalID=0 AND Expiredate <> Null GROUP BY MONTH(HeadlineDate), Year(HeadlineDate) ORDER BY MAX(HeadlineDate) desC
it doesn't return anything....
How can I change that

Hi,I have a corporate database with about 60 different tables that spansmanufacturing, accounting, marketing, etc.It is possible, but unwieldy, to establish a relationship for eachtable in the entire database through critical fields like customer_idor product_id.But should I do that?My question is: Is there such a thing as too many relationships? CanI establish referential integrity via relationships with criticaltables like Accounting, but leave the rest unconnected and simply useJOINS in my business code?Thanks,HC
Hey all,I have a datagrid with populated by this query: SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE (TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE')I have paging, sorting and selection enabled.Now I am looking for a way to use a wild card as a placeholder for the table name in my select statements so I can use the valued selected from the datagrid.Example : SELECT * FROM %TABLENAME%TIAWOOHOO! my first post.
i got this stored procedure. i tried to modify it and now its giving me this scaler error.
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure insertuser, Line 4 Must declare the scalar variable "@seller_id".
USE [DBCars] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[insertuser] Script Date: 05/23/2008 20:44:37 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER procedure [dbo].[insertuser] (@Make nchar(10),@Model nchar(10),@City nchar(10),@SellerID varchar(50),@MileAge nchar(10),@Year_Model int) as insert into tbcar values(@make,@model,@city,@seller_id,@mileage,@year_model);
I'm have a stored procedure that iterates through a list of numbers and adds an item for each number (user id) some of these ids are duplicates which is fine even necessary for the first part of my query but for the last I need to ensure that no duplicates id's are passed to the stored procedure, in this case called 'spInsertForBackupNote'. My thoughts here was to do something like this:
SET @Note_Buffer = @UserID -- @Note_Buffer being some kind of array?
IF @Note_Buffer = @UserID -- If its been added to the buffer we dont execute sp BEGIN Do Nothing here END
ELSE
BEGIN EXECUTE spInsertForBackupNote @FK_UserID, @FK_NoteID END
I know this would never work because it would always be false since I just added the same userid to the buffer that I want to add. But I think you see my problem. I know it should be an easy one but my TSQL is limited. I've posted the whole sp. Hope someone can help.
I have a DTS Package that I am running from a command line via .bat file. Does anyone know if there is a command to have the command window minimized or running in the background? I used the /Rep N command but that still leaves the window open until the package has executed.

tblDocumentApprovals userID INT documentID INT approvalDate DATETIME
If I want to get a list of documents, and the users who've signed them off (if any), I'd do something like:
SELECT [tblDocuments].[documentName], [tblUsers].[userName ], [tblDocumentApprovals].[approvalDate ] FROM [tblDocuments] LEFT JOIN [tblDocumentApprovals] ON [tblDocumentApprovals].[documentID] = [tblDocuments.id] INNER JOIN [tblUsers] ON [tblUsers].[id] = [tblDocumentApprovals].[userID]
...which is lovely. Except - I don't want a row returned for each user that's signed it off. I want one row for each document, with a field containing a list of the people who've signed it off.
I know that it's bad design. I was reading an article only yesterday on how they're putting this kind of thing into the latest version of Access, and how it's a bit of a kludge. But it'd really, really help me.
