Storing And Retrieving Info In Non-English Languages
Sep 1, 2006Hi,I am tasked with creating a site in two languages: English and Farsi (Persian), which is a right-to-left language.I am having problems with the Faris version when it comes to stroing and retrieving data. I can use Farsi fonts and type data into tables, but when I try to retrieve them they are displayed as ?????. I check the table and it says there were problems retriving data and asks to run the query again. When I click on "Execute SQL", the content of the fields that were in Farsi change to ?????.I am new to MS-SQL and would appreciate it if you could tell me how to set up non-English database.TIA.

Multiple Languages In Sys.messages SQL Server Express
Feb 19, 2006I 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?

SQL Server 2008 :: Multiple Languages In Same Column - How To Sort / Select
Jul 29, 2011We 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.
BUG? Extracting Data Stored In Multiple Languages
Feb 27, 2006Hi,
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.".

SQL Server Storing Large Amounts Of Data In Multiple Tables
Jul 20, 2005Hello,Currently we have a database, and it is our desire for it to be ableto store millions of records. The data in the table can be divided upby client, and it stores nothing but about 7 integers.| table || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ... |Right now, our benchmarks indicate a drastic increase in performanceif we divide the data into different tables. For example,table_clientA, table_clientB, table_clientC, despite the fact thetables contain the exact same columns. This however does not seem veryclean or elegant to me, and rather illogical since a database existsas a single file on the harddrive.| table_clientA || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...| table_clientB || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...| table_clientC || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...Is there anyway to duplicate this increase in database performancegained by splitting the table, perhaps by using a certain type ofindex?Thanks,Jeff BrubakerSoftware Developer

Confused As To Which SQL Server Version The Express Languages Work With
Apr 6, 2006I 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?
The Best Method Of Storing Multiple Values For A Single User Criteria In The Database ?
Mar 31, 2008Let's say you had a User table and one of the fields was called Deceased. It's a simple closed-ended question, so a bit value could be used to satisfy the field, if the person is dead or alive. Let's say another field is called EyeColor. A person can have only one eye color and thus one answer should be stored in this value, so this is easy as well.
Now, let's say I want to store all the languages that a specific user can speak. This isn't as easy as the previous examples since it's not a yes or no or a single-value answer. I haven't had much experience with working with databases so I've come up with two possible ways with my crude knowledge hehe.
In terms of inputting the multi-answer values, I suppose I could use a multiple-selection listbox, cascading dropdowns, etc. Now, here are the 2 solutions that came to mind.....
1) Make a field called LanguagesSpoken in the User table. When I process the selections the user makes on the languages he knows, I can then insert into the LanguagesSpoken field a string "English, Spanish, Czech" or IDs corresponding to the languages like "1, 5, 12" (these IDs would be referenced from a separate table I guess). I would use commas so that later on, when I need to display a user's profile and show the user's languages, I can retrieve that long string from the LanguagesSpoken field, and parse the languages with the commas I've used. Using commas would just be a convention I use so I would know how to parse (I could have used "." or "|" or anything else I guess) the data.
2) Forget about the LanguagesSpoken field in the User table altogether, and just make a LanguagesSpoken table. A simple implementation would have 3 fields (primary key, userId, languageId). A row would associate a user with a language. So I would issue a query like "SELECT * FROM LanguagesSpoken WHERE userId=5" (where userId=5 is some user). Using this method would free me from having to store a string with delimited values into the User table and then to parse data when I need them. However, I'm not sure how efficient this method would be if the LanguagesSpoken table grows really large since the userIds would NOT be contiguous, the search might take a long time. I guess I would index the userId field in the LanguagesSpoken table for quicker access?
OR, I may be going about this the wrong way and I'm way out on left field with these 2 solutions. Is there a better way other than those 2 methods?
I haven't work extensively with databases and I'm just familiar with the basics. I'm just trying to find out the best-practice implementation for this type of situation. I'm sure in the real world, situations like this is very common and I wonder how the professionals code this.
Thanks in advance.

Which Is Better? Storing Data In The Database OR Storing It In The File System
Dec 29, 2006Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

Indexes In Other Languages
Sep 17, 2007I 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?

Setting UP SqlServer 2K For Unicode Languages
Apr 11, 2005All,
I am working on a project where I need to save numberous unicode languages in the same table (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc.). I understand that I need to setup the columns to use the nchar, nvarchar, etc. as a column data type. What I am struggling with is which coalation to use. Is there a generic Unicode coallation that I can/should use on the DB, along with the nchar, nvarchar, etc. and making sure that my code is using the N declaration before all string values that are going into the DB.
Is there anything that I am missing on setting up the DB to support this?
Thanks,

Problem Inserting Foreign Languages Into Ms Sql Using Java
Aug 24, 2004hi there, i'm having a real problem here.
I have some foreign language encoded characters in the database. They are those characters that makes no sense when using the wrong charset to view them. Now I need to retrieve them from the database and re-insert as unicode so that they can be viewed properly.
Now the problem is this: when I retrieve them from the database using java, some characters tend to contain single quote (') or brackets in there, thus screwing up my whole update statement. Below is the coding I am using. It works when there isn't any single quotes or brackets.
Connection con = db.getConnection();
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select b.en_transID, b.trans_content from translations a, en_translations b where a.en_transID=b.en_transID and a.language_ID='3'");
while (rs.next())
{
String original = rs.getString("En_transID");
byte bytes[] = rs.getBytes("trans_content");
if (bytes != null)
{
String s = new String(bytes, "UTF-16LE");
s = new String(s.getBytes(), "big5");
Statement tempStmt = con.createStatement();
tempStmt.executeUpdate("update En_Translations set trans_content = (N'"+s+"') where En_transID = '"+original+"'");
tempStmt.close();
}
Is there any way to get around this? Please help! Will appreciate it very much!
