We are a software developer here and ran into a problem trying to get SQL Server to display Japanese Characters through a linked server properly. Does anybody have any similar experiences?
The following configurations were able to display Japanese characters properly:
MS SQL 2000 on Win2000 IIS server...
I'm programming a Japanese Web application in Cold Fusion for a client. This app will be collected texbox and textarea data from people in Japan.
What's going to happen when somebody types in some Japanese characters and the survey tries to save them to the SQL 2000 database? Will it accept them? Do I need to do something special to the server so it will accept them? This is all brand new to me. I've never even seen a Japanese keyboard.
Thanks.
Hi there,
I am a newbie in this forum, and I hope the answer to my question has not been posted somewhere already.
Since few weeks I work in Japan. We have MS SQL Server 7.0, Windows on my laptop is german XP SP2 Pro with all available updates, Office is english 2003 SP2 with all the updates.
In Access I link tables from the SQL Server via ODBC, and everything works perfectly fine. Only, I can not retrieve the japanese text, e. g. customer name. All the other relevant fields are either numeric or numbers in text fields (i. e. with leading zeros), I can read all of them without problems.
I also installed the support for east-asian languages, and in Outlook, IE, Firefox I can see the japanese characters without problems.
I really would apreciate any hint how I could solve this issue, since I spent the whole day searching for a solution, but in vain.

Hi,Our school has an application in which :- Teachers enter comments through a web interface built in asp (notasp.net).- Comments are stored in a SQL server 2000 (in a nText field)- Comments are printed through a MS-Access 2002 front-end...Most comments are in English, Spanish or French. Some comments areEnglish + Japanese.- The Japanese teachers can enter their comments through the webinterface without any glitch.- The comments are obviously stored properly in the nText field, asthey can be displayed through the web interface.Here is where problems start to occur...- When browsing through the table using the Enterprise Manager, thecomment appears blank if it contains some Japanese.- When browsing through the table in Access (the table being linked),we can see the series of unicodes :漢字テス... while, in the next paragraph, theEnglish text is perfectly readable...- Similarly, on the printed report, the Japanese text appears as aseries of Unicodes, while the English text appears perfactly readable.If I copy the Japanese text from the web interface and paste it intothe linked table in Access, it displays perfectly and prints perfectlyin Access. But of course, I can't do that manually for all students...However, if I now look at the same record through the EnterpriseManager, I see the text (at last !) but only as a series of unreadablecharacters. I can imagine that that last problem is due to a lack ofJapanese font in the Enterprise Manager, bacause if I copy theseuneradable characters and paste them in the original web form, theydisplay perfectly...I would really appreciate if someone could help me sort out thatproblem.Many thanks for all ideas.DL

hi all,
In my Sql server 2000 database the japanese characters are showing ? marks. I have restored my database from a back up taken from another database which is showing the characters are in proper way. Please give me a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance
Regards,
I create my database table with a text field of nvarchar(), added some japanese kanji characters and so on. Everything works great, I can insert kanji and retrieve kanji and display them just fine from my c# application, however if I try to search for kanji using a WHERE = '' or a WHERE like '' clause, it doesn't score a match. Not even a direct one.
I'm on XP using a japanese locale with IME installed. The kanji shows up in Enterprise Manager correctly, it even shows in the query for the table, yet the WHERE clause won't record a hit. Changing the collation on the field to "Japanese" or "Japanese UNICODE" doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there something I am missing here?
Hi experts,
I want to store japanese characters in one of my database tables. I copied some data including japanese characters from an excel sheet and pasted it to the table. that works fine.
The characters are also nicely displayed in my web application.
But I am unable to type in new characters to the table. When trying to do so, even the windows language bar does not allow me to write japanese characters!
I changed the collation of the database from Latin1_General_CI_AS to Japanese_90_CI_AS_KS_WS. I also played with the collation settings of a single column in the table, setting it to different Japanese Windows Collations. The values in the column are stored as NVARCHAR.
The strange thing is: When I insert a new table to the database then I can enter japanese characters without modifications, the table having the same properties as the one in question (at least as far as I can see).
I am stuck here, does anybody have a hint how I can solve this issue?
Additional question: Which collation should I take?
Thanks a lot for you answers!

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!

I need to have an SDF file with Japanese characters, to be read on Windows Mobile 2003. I'd like to create this file with my PC, since I don't seem to be able to create cells containing Japanese characters using directly SQL Query on the PPC.
So far, I see 2 options:
1) Creating an MDF file with Japanese characters (no problem), then use a tool to convert this MDF file to SDF. I've tried the 3rd party Primeworks tool that has been suggested on Forums, but it doesn't offer the Japanese language option, so when I try to read the generated SDF file on my PPC, I get squares instead of characters.
I'm not sure if I can use SQL Server Integration Services to convert my file; it seems so, but I'm not sure which tool to download. (Any idea?)
2) Using SQL Server Management Studio, with SQL Server Mobile, and creating an SDF file. I can create tables with Japanese characters in it, but I cannot read the generated SDF file on Windows Mobile 2003 (it's probably compatible only with WM5, since I think the tool was designed for it)
Can anyone help me resolving the final steps to make one of these options work?
Thanks very much!!
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.
Hi all,I am quite experimented with SQL Server, but not that much with fulltext indexing. After some successful attempts with english fields, I'vedecided to try it with Japanese characters. I don't know why, but itseems to have a strange behaviour.As in this screenshot(http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/980/jap3xt.gif), the CONTAINSfunction does not seem to return only fields with an exact word matchof the given "word" (query), but also strange results which does noteven correspond to the query. Can anybody help me with that one?Thanks! :)ibiza

Hi All,
I am working on SQL Server 2000 ver 7.0. The Collation set for my Database Server is Latin.
I want some way by which i can insert Japanese Characters in Database. Is it related to change the Collation or any other encoding format of database.
Suppose the table 'Person' has fields id, Name, city
If i enter name in a japanese characters, then while storing it does not recongnises this format.
insert into person values(8,'満員','osaka')
id name city
8 ?? osaka
At the place of name '??' is displayed.
Please sugggest me a solution for this.
Thanks in Advance Manohar
Here's a tricky SQL question that has definitely driven me to the end ofmy rope. I'm using Oracle 9i and I need to perform some simplemultiplication on a field and then display it with a percent sign usingthe COLUMN command. Here's the code thus far:COLUMN price format 9,999.99 HEADING 'Charged%'SELECT pricecharged * .231 as priceFROM VT_examdetailThe output from this reads:Charged%---------23.1034.6534.65....The kicker here is that I need to add a percent sign to the right of theoutput, so that it reads:Charged%---------23.10%34.65%34.65%....I thought I could do this by just adding "|| ('%')" into the SELECTstatement, but when I do this the decimal position defined in the COLUMNcommand is lost. Does anyone know another way around this?Thanks,Alex

We have recently used our English DB (default codepage) to store Japanese Unicode data. When adding data via ASP pages the data seems to get translated and stored into unreadable garbage (Wrong encoding?)
When Japanese data is entered direct via EM or via Access Link tables all is fine and Japanese characters are correct.
The unreadable garbage displays correctly when viewed via ASP but not via EM of Access. What is causing ASP to do this? I read article Q232580 regarding IE and UTF-8 Posts and SQL UCS-2?? Am i on the right tracks? Its all a bit confusing.
How can i get Japanese characters to store in SQL exactly as entered in ASP pages?
Thanks in adavance

In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks

This is a very confusing question. Let me start:
I need to know can I use Japanese characters in SJIS format with American SQL 7 on Win2K. I must be able to integrate a Japanese language database and an English language database on one platform. Since most people working on this project are bilingual, it would be OK to get Win2K Japanese. But I am not sure how to get SQL Japanese in the states, where I am working now.
Can you helP?
Thanks

I'm having a small problem inserting japanese text into a ms sql database.
All the fields are of type nvarchar and in my insert statement I use N'the value of the string' to make sure it insert unicode text.
Without the N I get only '??????' in my cells and with the N I see only empty squares.
Anyone have any solution how I can insert japanese text into mssql ?

Dear All,
I am using JDK 1.5 with MS-SQL2000 as backend. I am try to store japanese text/charachters in the MS-SQL using jdbc. But whatever the japanese charaters are getting stored in MSSQL as ?????(which I think are corrupted-as read from internet.).
1. My problem is I want to store them exactly in the Japanese language formats(Kanji/or so).
2. In the same way when I am retriving it from database I am getting ???? only. Not the actual Japanese charaters which I have inserted.
P.N.: I am using:
mssqlserver.jar ---Driver DB connectivity
Can anyone suggest me the solution for the same?
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards,

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

I am currently trying to find a way in which I can determine if a column in a Select clause is Japanese. The column currently supports English and Japanese Kanjis and other kanas. Is there a way to determine if this column is not English or if it is Japanese without physically looking at it.?
Thanks .... Chris
Hi,
I have a requirement to do a data migration work for a Japanese client. The problem is I don't know Japanese and the client SME does not know English. So, my requirement is, I should be able to create a SSIS package in English and then should be able to compile or translate it into Japanese so that my Japanese SME can understand the package. Is it possible to do? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
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)?
Thanks in advance

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..
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.
Good day experts,
I wonder if i got an answer for this.
How can i iliminate a letters from a set of integers and characters using a SQL Statement
for ex:
ABC9800468F
is that possible?
is there a function that i can use to iliminate them?
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.
