SQL SERVER 2005 LANGUAGE

  • Hi!

    I have a Server 2005 as a local instance and an other one at the network.

    The Problem is, that they have different language settings, because of different installations.

    So the datetime format is different, when i communicate with vb or .net. Know what i mean?

    The formats are german and english. I need the german for booth.

    Can I change the setting?

    Thanks

    Chris

  • oh joy! you can set the date formats within the sql scripts using a set option, you can set the language of your users, or you can just extract the dates to iso , I think odbc or use full dates which as far as I know will always work - did some testing with it a couple of years ago.

    e.g. 1 january 2007 12:34 and it's german equivilant will always work ( assumimg language set )

    failing that add an additiinal column and calculate the dates out to a common use.

  • One way of handling that in vb or .net is to use variables declared as DateAndTime.

    Don't stuff it into strings, ... but use the corect variable-datatype.
