How To Design Database For Chinese And Japanese Characters
Aug 23, 2007
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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.
Joe

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

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!

Hi,
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!!

Hi
I need some help importing Chinese characters into my SQL Server 2005 database.
I have the data in an access database, which contains a mixture of english and chinese characters.
Now when I import this into SQL, the Chinese characters are not imported in correctly.
I'm aware of that these characters may need to be imported as unicode, but I don't have an option to change this when importing from the Access table.
Please can somebody assist.
many thanks!

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

Is there a way to change the font that the data viewer uses, so that the Chinese characters don't appear as boxes?
The data viewer displays Chinese characters as boxes, something similar to [_], at least on a computer with the following regional settings.
get-wmiobject CIM_OperatingSystem | ft OSLanguage, CodeSet, Locale
OSLanguage CodeSet Locale
---------- ------- ------
1033 1252 0409The data itself is flowing correctly into the target database with a pipeline data_type of DT_WSTR. The ideograms can be seen by query utilities which supports a unicode font (e.g. Management Studio).

Hi,
We have stored some chinese characters in SQL database with datatype as nvarchar, but they are displayed in RS as some weird characters.
like this: 耹±Ã¥€¢€ 耹±Ã§¾Å½Ã¨¸Ã¨€°Ã¥€¢€ Ã¥€¹„¢(耚¡)Ã¥€¦¬Ã¥¸Ã¥°Ã§£Ã¥Ë†€ Ã¥€¦¬Ã¥¸
When we code the asp pages, we put the following on each page to display the chinese characters properly.
<meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="TEXT/HTML; CHARSET=UTF-8">
So my question is what do I need to do in RS in order to show the chinese characters properly as well ?
Many thanks!

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.

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

I have a table-valued function in mssql 2005 as below:
ALTER FUNCTION fn_test{ @test nvarchar(1000)}RETURNS@TEMP TABLE{ test nvarchar(1000)}ASBEGIN INSERT INTO @TEMP SELECT @test
RETURNEND
Everytime, I passed in chinese character (@test), such as 測驗, the function will return ????. What should I do for the table-valued function, so that the chinese character can be passed in? Please help.
Note: I can search and get the chinese characters if I use stored procedures; and the columns in the tables can store chinese chararcters as well. Only table-valued function is not working with the chinese characters. Is it a bug from MSSQL 2005?

I don't quite understand what I am asking for so hopefully this is enough to get an answer or some explanation.
Using SQL2014 I need to use a Chinese collation. I have been told that even with a Chinese collation Latin characters are there. Is there a Chinese collation that will provide Latin case-insensitive behavior?

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!

Hi all
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
