Hi,

I need to insert Thai fonts thru insert SQL statement from query analyzer or thru ASP coding. If i insert, i see only junk characters (like ?????). If I copy and paste in to table from Enterprise manager i am able to see the Thai text clearly. Why this happens? any idea? How to solve this problem. anybody pls reply asap.

Thanks in advance

Thai is one of the right to left languages as Arabic so you need to define the column or table or database with Thai collation and Nvarchar/Nchar/Ntext data type.

Hi,

I have written some pages in asp.net and i use adodb to enter into a MSSQL 2000 database.
I made a form and i can enter thai characters in it.

I use to following to enable thai characters

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Charset = "tis-620"
End Sub

Now I enter thai into a textfield (แฟพ is my text and the form field is named xlate) and i do a request.form and I get แฟพ back and i write it on the screen. Happy so far.

Now I use the following to update into the database:

objConn.Execute("Update tl_translate Set tl_th = '" & Request.Form("xlate") & "' Where tl_id = " & Request("tl_id"))

I get a ? in the database and when i write the database value on the screen (webpage) i get a ? too.

I made the field in the database a nvarchar and use Thai_CI_AS collation.....

If someone can tell me where i go wrong..I will give him/here a cookie Smile

This seems to work....

objConn.Execute("Update tl_translate Set tl_th = N'" & Request.Form("xlate") & "' Where tl_id = " & Request("tl_id"))

I'll eat the cookie myself :)

It is a critical thing to insert thai language. It has similarity as arabic language.

What I find funny/wierd/stupid....

There are two ways to make thai characters available on a webpage:

1) Set the charset (code behind)
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Charset = "tis-620"
End Sub

2) In the meta tag (html)
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-874">

This should do the same, AFAIK, but it seems it dont. When i do 1) and make a form and submit that form, the characters get messed up. When I do 2) all works well.

So you really need to do 2) and then use the right collation and insert statement to insert into you database. I think that it is funny/wierd/stupid that there is difference between 1) and 2)
