Data/records in other languages

Hi,

Can the English version of Sql Server (or other DBMSs) store data/records in
other languages (e.g. French, Chinese, etc.) or
do you have to use the French version of Sql Server to store French data?

Where can I go to read more on this?

Thanks.

You can use Unicode data types (nchar, nvarchar, ntext) to store
Unicode data, and it doesn't matter what language your version of
MSSQL is. You can get more information in Books Online in the sections
on "Using Unicode Data" and "Collations ".

Hello, I am using Access 2002. WinXP, Template from MS called Orders Mgmt DB. I have tweaked this DB to work for our small co.

Now our data entry form shows our customer addresses, but not customer order history. When looking at all of the tables, customer, payments, orders, they still have all of the...

I am relatively new to C# and .Net in general, but have been programming in many other languages for more years than I want to recall. I have a problem where an existing set of code (actually a Windows kernel component developed by a company I do some work for) is returning information to user space in the buffer from an IOCTL call in a 'streaming' format that mixes variable length strings, 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integer values.

We have this huge application that's based on storing tons of data on a dataTable. The only problem we're having is that storing LOTS of data (1 million records) into a datatable will slow down the system since all this data will be stored in memory. The performance is really affected with this. Since we don't really want to redesign everything based on this datatable, are there any companies that offer a product similar to the datatable...

Here's one that should probably have the sub-heading "I'm sure I asked this once before, but ...". Two users are both looking at the same data, from a database. One user changes the data and commits it. How does the other user get the updated view without polling for changes? Is there some sort of callback mechanism that can be set up on the dataset or connection? TIA

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
