How can this encoding be saved in SQL Server 2008

hi all,
We are using Sql Server 2008, it has this collation set "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS". Please have a look at this file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxWAyvJA9ZjCdkFNN3BXZUw3dEE/view?pli=1
its a text file in text format (ascii test data format aka ATDF). Its coming from French vendor and it contains some French words. We have to parse this and upload data to sql server. We do that all the time except this file is not working. It just disturbs
the way sql server is saving data for us, and upon showing this saved data on application UI, the correct letters don't display. The upload happens via the Bulk Insert command. Please guide as to where to start. Also please let me know exactly what this format
is called, do we call it just unicodes, or some utf formats. I'm really ignorant when it comes to unicode. Thanks a lot!

Hi
Please use Unicode data types on the SQL Server side. Please see the following document:

  • How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008

    How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008 using the GROUP BY function? (only one query allowed)

    Lookup the Pivot transformation. From BOL:
    The Pivot transformation makes a normalized data set into a less normalized
    but more compact version by pivoting the input data on a column value. For
    example, a normalized Orders data set that lists customer name, product, and quantity purchased typically has multiple rows for any customer who purchased multiple products, with each row for that customer showing order
    details for a different product. By pivoting the data set on the product column, the Pivot transformation can output a data set with a
    single row per customer. That single row lists all the purchases by the customer, with the product names shown as column names, and the quantity shown as a value in the product column. Because not every customer purchases every product, many columns may contain
    null values.
    When a dataset is pivoted, input columns perform different roles in the pivoting process. A column can participate in the following ways:
    The column is passed through unchanged to the output. Because many input rows
    can result only in one output row, the transformation copies only the first
    input value for the column.
    The column acts as the key or part of the key that identifies a set of
    records.
    The column defines the pivot. The values in this column are associated with
    columns in the pivoted dataset.
    The column contains values that are placed in the columns that the pivot
    creates.

  • How can I export image column from SQL Server 2000

    Hi everybody,could someone tell me how can I export an entire column( pictures type) to a folder on disk?I've tried the textcopy.exe under the SQL installation's binn folder,it can only export one picture a time,I'm trying to find an automated way to export
    the whole colum's images to a folder,I'm using SQL Server 2000.

    Vishal,thanks for the replay,I've tried the BCP method but it seems does not work on my Sql Server 2000,also the SSIS package method is demonstrated with Sql Server 2008 R2 and my machine does not have the visual application to try it.In the BCP method,I
    got prompt  indicating me that I wrote something wrong in the grammer,and I'm pretty sure that maybe I made something wrong in the below part,the grammer makes me confused
    INSERT
    INTO @sqlStatements
    SELECT 'BCP "SELECT Photograph_Data FROM [ALBSCH_Trial].[dbo].[Photograph] WHERE Photograph_ID = '''
    + CAST(Photograph_ID AS VARCHAR(500)) + '''" queryout ' + @OutputFilePath

  • Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

    I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

    Hi GS,
    Move to .NET SDK forum.
    I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
    As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

    Hi Merry,
    Seems that you have to add the "provider" attribute to the connectionstring. Please have a look at the following link: [http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008#p2]

  • How to write a store procedure under SQL Server 2008

    Hi Folks,
    Kindly help me step by step how to create a simple store procedure with help of sql server 2008 r2 for Crystal report.
    I know how to work by using Universe but not SQL Server. Kindly help me how to hard code by using sql.
    Thanks in adv.
    Reddy

    For the actual syntax for programming the stored proc, you'll need to work with someone (or a website) who knows T-SQL.
    The cursor that gets returned from the stored proc must be an "in out" parameter for the stored proc.  For SQL Server I usually define a record type that includes the fields that will be returned and then return a set of records of that type.  Again, check with someone who is familiar with T-SQL for more information about how to do this.

  • How to connect from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2

    Hi,
    Is it possible to connect from Oracle 11g on AIX to SQL Server 2008 R2? If so, what is the preferred method?
    SQL Server has the original table. From Oracle 11g, we want to access data which is in SQL Server real time.

    Hi,
    Have a look at these Oracle notes for the full information on the gateways -
    Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products (Doc ID 1083703.1)
    Functional Differences Between DG4ODBC and Specific Database Gateways (Doc ID 252364.1)
    Gateway and Generic Connectivity Licensing Considerations (Doc ID 232482.1)

    The Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL) needs a separate license but the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) is included in your RDBMS license. You only need to provide the third party ODBC driver needed by DG4ODBC.

  • How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

    I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

    As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
    SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
    1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
    separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
    your Oracle sales rep about it.
    2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
    version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
    and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
    check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
    as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
    3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
    Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
    into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
    this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
    the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
    5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
    additional information.

    You cannot update an IDENTITY column. You need to move the data into another table make  the changes over there  and insert the back the data into original table.

    Hi,
    If you have license key with yourself. You can download SQL Server 2008 R2 Evaluation edition. When you are installing SQL Server eval edition on license key page you would have option to select free  edition or provide License key for Enterprise edition.
    Provide License key and it would be enterprise edition after your installation finishes

  • Sql Server 2008 - problems after incorrect installation of SSIS component

    During the addition of SSIS component to an existing installation of Sql Server 2008 the setup has been made using Sql Server 2008 R2 media.
    Now SSMS shows the following error during the connection to the instance :
    Method not found: 'Int32.Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.ISfcDomain.GetLogicalVersion()'
    I've tried to remove R2 components and to repair the existing 2008 installation.
    At the moment 2008 R2 Native client and Setup are still present in the list of Programs and Features.
    From previous comments I understand this method is in a Sql Server 2008 R2 assembly, so it seems that SSMS is running as R2 but is using 2008 libraries.
    How can I correct this ?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Be careful uninstalling now SQL Server 2008 R2 components. If you uninstall shared components that are SQL Server 2008
    R2 components the whole SQL Server 2008 instance will be unusable. For more information about having SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on the same computer, please read the following article:
