View 2 RepliesHow can I enable using Arabic in an SQL DB?
View 2 RepliesHello,
I am using the SSIS import/export wizard to import an Access table into a sql server 2005 database. The table has fields in Arabic (name, last name, etc.) and non-Arabic fields (gender, phone number, category, etc.).
The destination table has nvarchar columns.
After the import, I can see the Arabic characters in the destination table, but they appear in inverse order (from left to right). In Access (or Excel), Arabic fields appear as they should (from right to left) and non-Arabic fields are OK as well (from left to right).
If I do a simple copy-and-paste of a "correct" Arabic text into the table, the result is still wrong (inversed letters)...
Please help, I can't see what else to do.
Thank you.

Hi yeah.
I am doing a project which retrieves data from a AS/400 machine.
The code page of the machine is 420.
I used "OLE DBIBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider" to connect from SQL Server.
The problem is, all the arabic characters coming from this machine becomes unreadable, becoming some machine code text.
What could be the problem and how can I solve this?
Thank you.
Dear all ..
i have a serious problem & all ur comments will be appreciated..
i have bought an ASP .NET publishing tool which i receieved an sql script with it to execute on either Ms sql server or MSDE .
i executed it on MSDE as i don't have Ms sql server on my windows dedicated server .
I wanted the tool for publishing (Arabic Language)content for a highly traffic soccer website..
After executing the sql script i tested the tool but i found arabic characters are not saved when i add articles .. they were saved as question marks (??).
so i re-executed the sql script on a new db after modifying every code containg (varchar) to (nvarchar) to support unicode & thus arabic.
it worked & i succeeded in saving arabic articles
BUT >>>>>>>>>>>>>
i found that only short arabic articles r saved fine while any article that reaches around (1 microsoft word page) is not saved well with arabic characters but saved as question marks ( ??? ) .. !!
=======
so i checked the db tables using ASP.NET Enterprise manager & i found that
the field of article has (ntext) & infront of it number 16 ..
it seems that the (ntext) has a limit to wt it can save ..
so i believe there's a way which i don't know to make the (ntext) accepts long articles entry .
========
Here's the code in the original sql script i received with the tool & i hope u can guide me in details to any modification to do so that the ntext limit is raise to save any long arabic article.
========
code :
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[xlaANMarticles] (
[articleid] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[posted] [nvarchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[lastupdate] [nvarchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[headline] [nvarchar] (350) NOT NULL ,
[headlinedate] [nvarchar] (255) NOT NULL ,
[startdate] [nvarchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[enddate] [nvarchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[source] [nvarchar] (255) NOT NULL ,
[summary] [nvarchar] (3000) NOT NULL ,
[articleurl] [nvarchar] (1000) NOT NULL ,
[article] [ntext] NOT NULL ,
[status] [tinyint] NOT NULL ,
[autoformat] [nvarchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[publisherid] [int] NOT NULL ,
[clicks] [int] NOT NULL ,
[editor] [int] NOT NULL ,
[relatedid] [nvarchar] (2000) NOT NULL ,
[isfeatured] [nvarchar] (10) NULL ,
[keywords] [nvarchar] (255) NULL ,
[description] [nvarchar] (255) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
i highlighted the specific column for the article field with red color ..
i tried making it (nvarchar) but the sql manager i use saud it can't be done coz. there has to be a field for TEXTIMAGE coz. it's set to be (on) in the code.
waiting for ur help plz. ... i am desperate .. :confused:

Hello there, I'm trying to use the full text search feature in SQL server 2000, when I search in arabic language I got a message telling that I'm searching for an ignored word the errore message I receive is:
--------------------
ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]A clause of the query contained only ignored words.
--------------------
I have tried to configure the SQL server settings, I added the following code in the functions:
--------------------------
exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', '1'
reconfigure
exec sp_configure 'default full-text language', '0'
reconfigure
exec sp_configure
reconfigure with override
--------------------------
But this didn't solve the Arabic language problem!
Please Advice

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,
