multi lingual where clause

I have a table with nvarchar column. In query analyzer when I run query with foreign language words that are already there in database it dose not return any rows

To test it I returned rows with Select * table. Then from result window I copy chinese characters and put it in SQL where clause in SQL analyzer .When I run query it dose not return results.

What could be the cause..its SQL 2k

found it add N infront of characters|||

As kyus94 indicated, to use UNICODE characters, including Chinese, you must preface the string with the character [ N ].

For example,

SELECT

Column1,

Column2,

etc

FROM MyTable

WHERE Column3 = N'ThisCouldBeChinese'

(Note the character immediately before (no space) the string.)

Multi Language Form

Hi,

I have a table in an MS SQL 2000 database that represents fields on a form.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TagData](
[FieldName] [nvarchar](255),
[UserID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Data] [nvarchar](255)
)

A requirement has come up where some of these fields must contain Hebrew, or any other unicode character, data and some of the fields will be English. How can I go about saving and retrieving this information.

The current solution is a legacy Classic ASP application and I suspect I am going to have to redo this in ASP.Net

Thanks,
Leon

Since the data type in the table is nvarchar, you can store any unicode values.

You select/insert into the table as normal way of inserting the data there will not be any difference in doing DML operations.

Sample insert statement is as follows:

INSERT INTO TagData values(N'Sample Field', 10, N'Sample Data'); --> please "N" is for specifying it as nvarchar.

When you want to display content in ASP.Net depending on the language setting, we have to use localization and Globalization concepts in ASP.Net

Following URL will provide you more info on the same in ASP.Net:

Hello,

What is uniqueidentifier as a data type?

Also what is the data type for setting unique STRINGS ((nchar,
nvarchar), for example to be used for emails and user names in a user
registration system).

SQL Server does not allow me set primary keys for columns where data
types are not INT.

Thanks in advance.A uniqueidentifier is equivelent to a GUID, if you've ever used it in
any other programming language. As for SQL Server not allowing you to
use other data types than int, you must be misinterpreting the errror
message. What error message do you see?

A uniqueidentifier is a 128-bit value, which is generated in such a way
that it is guaranteed to be unique in the whole universe. (Well, at least
this planet.) They are not specific to SQL Server, but Windows has them
all over the place, but calls them GUIDs.

Huh? You can use almost any data type for primary keys. Since a primary
key is an index, the total key size may not execeed 900 bytes, so you
cannot use things like text or nvarchar(MAX).

Now it is ok.

Thank you very much for your help guys.
