Multiple Languages In Sys.messages SQL Server Express
Feb 19, 2006
I have a view that retrieves the details for sys.messages in SQL Server Express and noticed that the language ID is 1033 (U.S. English). I will need French and Portuguese, and understand that these are standard. Is there a set of DDL Scripts that will install the sys.messages for these languages?
Is it possible to store multiple languages in one sql server.Now i have a sqlserver with US English.Can i store spanish and french data in the DB?If possible how can i store it...?
We have a database where the nvarchar columns currently holding English only data. It keeps the training information. Currently the default collation is Latin Case insensitive accent insensitive.
Now we are planning to allow multiple language support. When we go for it, we will upload the data from different languages. Based on user preferences, he/she should be able to query the data (One language at a time).
I am worried on how the existing queries will work if I load all language data in the same database.
For example, some characters in English are used in Norwegian too. But they have different sort order. ALso LIKE conditions too may fail.
So far I thought of few solutions: Add the Collation information along with select , order by clauses. It means we need to add more procedures (one set per collation) The other option is to create new database for each language. Each will have its own collation. The dowside is we need more databases which may lead to more servers and more maintenance work.
I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed on my PC. I also have the Express Editions of VB and C# installed. Is there any purpose served in my installing SQL Express, also?
I've read comments that the Express languages can only connect to SQL Express databases and not SQL Server 2005 databases; however, I'm not sure how that is enforced. The 'connect to database' wizard does seem to be different in the Express IDE than it is in Visual Studio.
I've read other Express language references that say that they can only connect to SQL Server databases via something called User Instances; however, it's not clear to me if that infers that only SQL Express supports User Instances.
Regarding User Instances, it's not clear to me whether this technology is for single-user (i.e., exclusive) access or not. What scenarios are User Instances good for?
I've downloaded SQL Server Express with Advanced Services from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/ and installed all components. When I try to create a full-text catalog, I get the following message:
No full-text supported languages found.
select * from sys.fulltext_languages returns no lines.
How can neutral, English or maybe Hungarian word breakers be installed?
I have an access database that is storing text in english and chinese characters. I am importing the data using SSIS and it is putting a 'square' character in place of all the chinese characters. Can I associate multiple code pages to a control? If this is not possible, I would just like to Extract the data and Load it into a table, and i will just handle the errors and write the key fields to an error log. The problem is that the error handler is not redirecting the row. It just simply fails. I have changed all the error actions to Redirect Row too. I currently have a script checking if the 'square' character exists but i feel this should be handled a better way? Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions??
This is the error code i get
Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "FDCDOPS0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
I have a procedure where after processing, i am required to send multiple message to calling application.
For ex:
create procedure test as (@a as int, @b as int @c as int ) /* some transformations */ print 'variable a is' + @a; print 'variable b is' + @b; print 'variable c is' + @c;
I am only providing a sample of return messages, but in reality there a lot more messages where a string and a parameter value need to concatenated.Unfortunately print is not allowing to concatenate parameter value.I can use RaiseError, but these messages are not really any error messages.
i tried to concatenate all message and output it using OUT type parameter, but the length of all messages combined exceeds 10000 characters.
Is there any other alternate to send these messages out to application?
After hitting limitations in the SQL CLR world that bar us from invoking COM objects we are forced to use windows services to read the messages off the Service Broker Queues. Unfortunately we loose the auto activation feature in the Queues, but we can still read messages and perform the SQL work under one transaction.
We are going to attempt to take N messages simultaneously from the Queue, though N instances of a windows service. If the messages send to the queue are one message per conversation, will we be able to achieve having N readers take messages off simultaneounsly?
Thank you very much,
Lubomir
P.S. if anyone has a better approach to obtaining the message in "out of sql code" or invoking external (not assemblies stores in SQL server) code libraries, that would be etremely nice to hear. I have thought about invoking a web service through CLR, but that is probably too much overhead - MSMQ seems much more appealing than a web service;
I have a SS2K5 stored procedure that executes 2 others stored procedures sp_zero1 and sp_zero2 sp_zero1 and sp_zero2 do the same thing ... raises an Divide by zero error I need to (print / select into a database) both error messages using just one try catch block instead of 2 blocks like in the next example:
-- THIS IS THE WORKING CODE THAT I DONT WANT BEGIN TRY exec sp_zero1 END TRY BEGIN CATCH PRINT ERROR_MESSAGE() PRINT ERROR_PROCEDURE() END CATCH BEGIN TRY exec sp_zero2 END TRY BEGIN CATCH print ERROR_MESSAGE() print ERROR_PROCEDURE() END CATCH
if I try the next code
--THIS IS THE NON WORKING CODE BEGIN TRY exec sp_zero1 exec sp_zero2 END TRY BEGIN CATCH print ERROR_MESSAGE() print ERROR_PROCEDURE() END CATCH
only the first error message is printed and the execution is stopped
This is a generic example ... in reality I have a stored procedure that executes tens and hundreds of other stored procedures ... so thats the reason I need just one block of try catch instead of hundreds of blocks
We're looking to send messages to an SSB Queue (our 'Notification' queue) that contains multiple values.. like Message #1: 20,1 to indicate Record #20, send Notification #1.. the reason for this is we have lots of different types of records in our database, and based on certain conditions, we would like to send different notices regarding these various record types.
What is the best format to send mesages like this? We thought about sending TABLE vars.. what other options are there?
Is there a way to make a single insert (in a loop) and take system dates and insert them in different languages without making a new loop for each language.
Scenario: (1) Initiator/Target are running on different machines; (2) Target is on SQL Standard Edition with service pack 1; (3) Initiator ends the conversation.
If Initiator is running on SQL Express Edition with service pack 1 or 2, €śSend message€? and €śEnd conversion€? will introduce two messages in initiator€™s sys.transmission_queue. One is empty message with correct message type; the other is empty message with no message type. Both of them are from the Target to the Initiator.
If Initiator is running on SQL Standard Edition with service pack 1, with same stored procedure (attached below), there is no message left in initiator€™s sys.transmission_queue.
We like to find the way to make Initiator on SQL Express Edition acting same as it on SQL Standard Edition, namely not left messages in the initiator€™s sys.transmission_queue
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateMessageForQueue] @message varchar(max) AS BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @handle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @handle FROM SERVICE [TCP://Initiator:4321] TO SERVICE N'TCP://Target:4567' ON CONTRACT LogContract WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
SEND ON CONVERSATION @handle MESSAGE TYPE LogMessage(@message);
I have a simple db that I created in SQL Express 2005, and a small app that I build in Visual C# that connects to the db. The problem I've always had is that Visual C# and Management Studio Express cannot both connect to the db at the same time. One will throw an error if the other is connected. To switch, I have to disconnect the one that has the connection, restart the sql express service and connect with the other. I thought sql express could handle multiple connections? I'm running in User Instance=False mode, and my db properties include Restrict Access=Multi_User.
Does anyone have some insight?
By the way, if I'm not in Visual c# but run the release build of my app, the same problem occurs.
I get this error from Management Studio Express: Unable to open the physical file "D:DBSHCSHC.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
Hi, i just need some help?? just some info?is it TRUE that SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (free) is capable ONLY of SINGLE user?i mean if i have a data driven page, if someone is using or editing the data in my page, does no one can access my data base simultaneously??i hope you could enlighten my mind, thanks
I have a software solution that consists of two separate applications that share a SQL Server Express database on a single computer. Everything is working great, except when both of the applications want to access the database at the same time. All I can find is information on configuring multi-user access in a distributed system. I'd appreciate any information on configuring multi-application access on a single computer.
My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
I have spent days searching the web and forums for an answer to this simple question and cannot find an example.
I have built a service broker application on sql server 2005. The application puts some xml on an incoming queue which is basically a few parameters to be used in a query. This queue will then call a stored proc which does some business logic and puts the resulting results in another queue also in xml.
I have written a test harness in SQL to put messages on the inbound queue and then some sql to retrieve the returned code from the outbound queue.
What I want to do is be able to convert the SQL which does this into .net code to be used by an application. i.e. write in .net some code to put xml on a queue and then write some .net code to retrieve xml from another queue.
I wouldn't have thought this would be a difficult thing to do and would have been done hundreds of times, but unable to find anything to simply send and retrieve XML to service broker queues....
thanks for your help.. its really needed. I found some links, but they are really vague and often doing select statments in service broker or something like this. I don't want to call any sql, just send and recieve XML on the queues.
any example code that does this, would be really helpfull
in my project I am using three languages in one data base (English, Arabic, Turkish), the problem is when i search about arabic character, there is no results, and when i change the default language to Arabic and search about turkish character there is no result.
what can i do to solve this problem?? plzzzzzz answer me..
I need to create databases in other languages (ie French, German, Spanish). Basically what I have learned all that needs to be modified from my current English DDL is the collation.
My question is regarding indexes in these other languages. Will indexes that I currently have in English work in French, German, or Spanish as long as I have the correct collation set at the database level?
In SQL Server 2005 standar edition, is it possible to change the language for the product during the installation? I mean, if I purchase the product in a Spanish spoken country; However, I want my SQL 2005 in English, can I swicht language during the install process? I an buying the software and the salesman says that I can chosse the language during the install, is that true?
how to configure sql server 2005 to support foreign language? i mean, i need to support asian language in my sqlserver. what are the things to consider while designing the table and the databases as well as entering the data to the table.
It would be fine if someone could reply me with all the detail configuration and things to consider if i am to let my sqlserver support chinese language.
Hi,Can the English version of Sql Server (or other DBMSs) store data/records inother languages (e.g. French, Chinese, etc.) ordo you have to use the French version of Sql Server to store French data?Where can I go to read more on this?Thanks.Eric
I have been thinking of using SQL server 2005 as i would like the flexibility i get through UDT. Retrieving the UDT data in managed could is ok but i would like to retrieve it in non .NET languages too.
For example lets say i create a UDT "Point". I insert data in a table that has some columns of type point.
Now is there a way i can get the data of the type point in a point object in non .NET languages like perl, python...
My source is Excel and one column has data in different languages. But when i try loading it to my Database errant data gets loaded. I tried loading data to Flat file with no success.
