Displaying character other than english.

  • Help needed in displaying the japanese character on sql server 2005, it is dispalyed as inverted ? marks.

    What collation should I used to import japanese char ( display japanese char) in sqlserver 2005, while creating db in sqlserver.

    I am importing it from oracle 10g (character set JA16SJIS).

    I Have taken export from sqldeveloper to excel, then importing it from excel to sqlserver I am able to see the japanes character,

    however

    With excel I am facing the below problem

    1. Number of records in some of the tables are more than 200000.

    2. Leading zeros, truncation issues etc.

    Regards,

  • Excel 2003 has a row limit . I suggest use Excel 2007 it has a row limit of 65536.:-D

  • Hi

    The collation doesn't matter for the storage of these characters. The collation describes the sorting and matching of the text data. Use column type NVARCHAR and everything works. We handle Arabic text in our system and have no problems.

    Hi kbotha80

    65,536 was the Excel restriction until 2003. Since Excel 2007 you can handle 1,048,576 rows and columns up to XFD. 😉
