Can I specify a collate value for a column in a table that includes all the possible languages in the world or atleast Latin 1 and Eastern European languages.
My DB Collation is set to Latin 1 and the columns in the tables are all nvarchar or ntext, but certain hungarian characters are not displayed correctly.
What do all these collation codes represent:
SQL_EBCDIC037_CP1_CS_AS
211
SQL_EBCDIC273_CP1_CS_AS
212
SQL_EBCDIC277_CP1_CS_AS
213
SQL_EBCDIC278_CP1_CS_AS
214
SQL_EBCDIC280_CP1_CS_AS
215
SQL_EBCDIC284_CP1_CS_AS
216
SQL_EBCDIC285_CP1_CS_AS
217
SQL_EBCDIC297_CP1_CS_AS
They seem generic. Is there one collation that includes all the Eastern Europen Languages and Latin 1 charset. Please let me know.
I have a sql db with a table in which I store Greek text. I have changed the collation name of the columns which keep the Greek to "Greek_AI_AS" and the datatype of these columns are nvarchar or ntext.
However whenever I tried to add text from a web form the Greek characters does not show correctly and I get "?????".
The collation name of the sql db is Latin1_Generala_CP1_CI_AS. Do u think there is a collation conflict or the column collation overides the db one? Or there is something else which I don't know?
P.S. I have set the correct Codepage and response.CharSet for Greek language.
I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003 (regional settings . Server collation is Greek_CI_AS and database collation is Greek_CI_AS. I am using an external application which stores data to this database and I am able to write Greek characters in a field but after i save the record this text is transformed to many ???????. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance
Got a tough one here for you SQL junkies.I'm working on a website (in ASP) for a national greek/collegeorganization. All it's college chapters have greek chapter names,i.e. Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, Delta Iota Chapter, Gamma PhiChapter, ect. ect.I need the SQL to return the chapters in greek alphabet ordering. Seebelow:1. Alpha2. Beta3. Gamma4. Delta5. Epsilon6. Zeta7. Eta8. Theta9. Iota10. Kappa11. Lambda12. Mu13. Nu14. Xi15. Omicron16. Pi17. Rho18. Sigma19. Tau20. Upsilon21. Phi22. Chi23. Psi24. OmegaBasically I need a way to specify this type of presedence for wordingand keep all the results in greek-letter order, so Sigma Upsilon comesbefore Sigma Tau, and so on.Also, to make it even more difficult, these are written words, not theactual greek symbols like α β etc. Everything is stored inthe DB as Alpha Beta Whateva Chapter.Hopefully some of you SQL junkies will be able to help on this one ;)
hi i installed mssql 2000 server today but when i tried to connect it from java i got an error like this
Could not find a Java charset equivalent to DB charset iso_1
i asked it within java forums and they said its because of charset settings of database server so i want to ask you how to change my database charset settings? Thanks
Hi there,I have a strange problem with an application running on Windows 2000connecting to a SQL Server 2000 with Greek collation.Runnin this query on the SQL"SELECT serverproperty('Collation'),databasepropertyex('mydb', 'Collation')"gives me:SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, Greek_CI_AIWhen I run my application on my Windows XP machine I have no problemswith the characters however when I try the same applicaton on aWindows 2000 platform the Greek characters are lost. For example theGreek characters TI appear as OE.Any help is appreciated,regardsBOB
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
Hi,I'm trying to do retrieve some data from a table where the content isin Greek, however, thequery is not working. It's a very simple statement, but I'm missingsomething.Here is the table...if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)drop table [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]GOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE] ([XL_REPORT_ID] [int] NULL ,[TEXT_NAME] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[LOCALE] [int] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThe first statment shows me a number of rows. I copied the content ofthe Text_Name column and pasteit into QA to form the second statement. However, the second statementreturns no data.SELECT * FROM Report_LocaleSELECT * FROM Report_Locale WHERE Text_Name = 'Λογ.Διαχ. – ΤÏ?.-Î*Ï?ουπ.-Διαφ.'Hopefully the Greek characters will display properly within this post,but the idea is basically to take the Greek text and build that into aquery. I can do the remainder later once I understand why this doesnot work as I expect. I realise my expectation is based on doingthings in English so I need to understand the differences. We've donethis for various other languages using other character sets, which iswhy I am puzzled.Any pointers ?ThanksRyan
I'm having a problem with the Euro symbol on my SQLServers which all have characterset 850 and Unicode collation 1033. As far as I can see charset 850 does not contain the € symbol, but if I run a query
DECLARE @nstring nchar(12) SET @nstring = N'€' SELECT UNICODE(@nstring), NCHAR(UNICODE(@nstring))
Result: 8364 €
So the Unicode character 8364 is the Euro symbol. My question now is how do I have to write a statement so that the € symbol is shown in the output. I need to use something like the following: Select 'Costs:'+ € + convert(money, table1.costs) Result: € 123.00
I tried several options but never get the right output. Is there any way of doing it or do I have to change the characterset.
Hi! What kind off settings do I use if Iam gone have diffrent languages on the databse?? What kind of collections settings do I use then If Iam going to have macedonia(Cyrillic), Swedish, and lots of other contries??? What kind of collection Seetings do I use under the installation of the MSSQL Server 2005?
Hi,I am writing to a text column in my SQL Server 2000 database. The textcomes from a web form in my java web application, where the characterencoding is ISO-8859-1. (I have no control over the charset, my app isa plugin inside another app.)Characters such as €(ascii 128) and '(ascii 146) are inserted intothe db as '?'.I'm connecting using the free jtds driver, and I'm not specifying anydetails about charsets in my usage of the driver.Can anyone tell me what the default charset in sqlserver 2000 is?Should I be specifying this charset when using my driver?Thanks.
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?
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.
I am getting these errors from Report Manager. It seems that every time after the server has been idling for about 15 minutes, I would get this error message. I can click on other links and I am able to continue to use Report Manager.
Is there a timeout setting to help me resolve this or is this a bug with Report Manager? I just insitalled SP2 on the SQL Server and the Reporting Service.

Disaster Recovery Options based on the following criteria.
--Currently running SQL 2012 standard edition --We have 18000 databases (same schema across databases)- majority of databases are less than 2gb-- across 64 instances approximately --Recovery needs to happen within 1 hour (Not sure that this is realistic -- We are building a new data center and building dr from the ground up.
What I have looked into is:
1. Transactional Replication: Too Much Data Not viable 2. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Need enterprise) Again too many databases and would have to upgrade all instances 3. Log Shipping is a viable option and the only one I can come up with that would work right now. Might be a management nightmare but with this many databases probably all options with be a nightmare.
More often than not, I typically don't touch DTC on clusters anymore; however on a project where the vendor states that it's required. So a couple things here.
1) Do you really need DTC per instance or one for all? 2) Should DTC be in its own resource group or within the instance's group? 2a) If in it's own resource group, how do you tie an instance to an outside resource group? tmMappingSet right?
Hi,I have setup a report model and am ready to deploy it for the first time. I have had no issues deploying my report definitions so presumably this should be alright.However, trying to deploy it gives this error:

Hello,I am trying to construct a query across 5 tables but primarily 3tables. Plan, Provider, ProviderLocation are the three primary tablesthe other tables are lookup tables for values the other tables.PlanID is the primary in Plan andPlanProviderProviderLocationLookups---------------------------------------------PlanIDProviderIDProviderIDLookupTypePlanNamePlanIDProviderStatusLookupKeyRegionIDLastName...LookupValue....FirstName...Given a PlanID I want all the Providers with a ProviderStatus = 0I can get the query to work just fine if there are records but what Iwant is if there are no records then I at least want one record withthe Plan information. Here is a sample of the Query:SELECT pln.PlanName, pln.PlanID, l3.LookupValue as Region,p.ProviderID, p.SSNEIN, pl.DisplayLocationOnPCP,pl.NoDisplayDate, pl.ProviderStatus, pl.InvalidDate,l1.LookupValue as ReasonMain, l2.LookupValue as ReasonSub,pl.InvalidDataFROM Plans plnINNER JOIN Lookups l3 ON l3.LookupType = 'REGN'AND pln.RegionID = l3.Lookupkeyleft outer JOIN Provider p ON pln.PlanID = p.PlanIDleft outer JOIN ProviderLocation pl ON p.ProviderID = pl.ProviderIDleft outer JOIN Lookups l1 ON l1.LookupType = 'PLRM'AND pl.ReasonMain = l1.LookupKeyleft outer JOIN Lookups l2 ON l2.LookupType = 'PLX1'AND pl.ReasonSub = l2.LookupkeyWHERE pln.PlanID = '123456789' AND pl.ProviderStatus = 0ORDER BY p.PlanID, p.ProviderID, pl.SiteLocationNumI know the problew the ProviderStatus on the Where clause is keepingany records from being returned but I'm not good enough at this toanother select.Can anybody give me some suggestions?ThanksDavid
I am new to Reporting Services and hope that what I am looking to do is within capabilities :-)
I have many identical schema databases residing on a number of data servers. These support individual clients accessing them via a web interface. What I need to be able to do is run reports across all of the databases. So the layout is:
Dataserver A
Database A1
Database A2
Database A3
Dataserver B
Database B1
Database B2
Dataserver C
Database C1
Database C2
Database C3
I would like to run a report that pulls table data from A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3
Now the actual number of servers is 7 and the number of databases is close to 1000. All servers are running SQL2005.
Is this something that Reporting Services is able to handle or do I need to look at some other solution?
Greetings,We are trying to set up a set of "Leading Practices" for ourdevelopers, as well as ourselves, and hope some gentle reader canrecommend some documentation in favor of what appears to be the rightposition to take.We do not allow third party applications to run on our SQL Servers. Wewant to include DTS Packages under the definition of third partyapplications, insisting instead that the developers save theirpackages as COM Formatted files into their source code control systemsand run them from their app servers. The devlopers would like to hearthis from someone besides ourselves.While strong recomendations to remove guest access to MSDB altogetherabound, I have been unable to find a straight forward discussion ofthe advantages of structured file storage and app server off load ofDTS packages.Can anyone suggest any articles, white papers, rants, etc attemptingto formulate a solution to the benefits of taking msdb away fromguest, with the advantages of running DTS from an App server orworkstation platform, with the packages protected in source codecontrol?Thank youJohn Pollinsjpollins @ eqt . com
Is it possible to create a stored procedure that can be used on multiple dBs??
For instance, I want to create a stored procedure and use it on DB1 and DB2. Right now, I can create a stored procedure in DB1 but only I can run it. I want to run the stored procedures on DB2 that I created in DB1..
I hope this makes sense.. Any insight into the workings of SPs would be most appreciated...

I have a search form that takes 5 inputs from textboxes or Drop Down Lists.
I built a query that works just fine in Analyizer, but the second i try to turn it into a sproc that takes parameters I can only get it to work with one parameter so far....
' Inner Join ftr_location On ftr_location.loc_id = ftr_file.loc_id' + ' Inner Join ftr_Status On ftr_status.status_id = ftr_file.status_id' + ' Inner Join ftr_doc_types on ftr_doc_types.file_type_id = ftr_file.file_type_id' + ' WHERE 1=1 '
If @ResultLocation Is Not Null Set @SQLString = @SQLString + 'And ftr_file.loc_id=' + cast @ResultLocation If @ResultLocation Is Not Null Set @SQLString = @SQLString + 'And ftr_file.file_date=' + cast @ResultFileDate
EXEC (@SQLString) GO
Any feedback would be most helpful, as I can get it to work with one parameter but not when I add teh second in the mix.
I have a dataadapter on my asp.net page and am having issues passing values to the sql statement. See below:
SELECT tblTemp.SensorID, tblSensor.SensorNum, tblTemp.TempTime, tblTemp.TempVal FROM tblTemp INNER JOIN tblSensor ON tblTemp.SensorID = tblSensor.SensorID WHERE (tblTemp.TempTime BETWEEN @From AND @To) AND (tblTemp.SensorID IN (@Sensor)) ORDER BY tblTemp.TempTime
@Sensor is populated in vb with the selected values from a checkboxlist control. I attempted to test this in the "Data Adapter Preview" window, but continually get an error. Is there a way to pass multiple values to a parameter? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I have an app that is critical to our business. It handles and syncronises several SQL Servers, checks integrety etc. I need to make the app so it can run a few things at once. Does anyone have any experience with this? Currently we use Delphi and ADO. I have been fiddling with DMO to get more performance - I am not sure ADO is very quick for some I tasks I need to do.
I suppose my main question *really* is does ADO/DMO multi-thread and has anyone tried it. If not how do people do it?
