How translate data in SQL Server?

How do I translate data in my database from one language to another one?
I want my website in multiple languages, translate the labels and many static things is easy, just use the Resources files, but about data which is stored in my database? I need translate it too... How I do it? Repeat every tables and when I want store
the data use the bing translator or google translator and stored in their table?
I'm constructing my website in mvc-asp.net and my database is SQL Server.
Please give me helpful help

There are actually 2 main facets to your question. One is how to design a database and application to support multiple cultures, and the other is how to translate data.
I would not create a separate table for each language. Instead, start by identifying tables that have string columns requiring translations. For each of these tables, create an additional table with a composite primary
key of the main table primary PK plus an culture identifier (e.g. ISO codes), and a column for each value that must be translated. Queries can then join to the translation table and specify the desired culture in order to return the translated values.
Be aware that there is not necessarily a need to store translations in the database for dynamic content, but much depends on the nature of your application and data. You could just store the value in the language entered and then translate
on the fly knowing the from/to language. But there may be performance concerns with that approach.

Guzman, if I stored in the language entered and then translate on the fly knowing to another language, you
recommend use systems like bing
translator API or Google translator for that?

Target Finish Date is 09-12-2004 11:59:59: PM
What i want to happen is i want to convert both dates to days and get the difference of the two.
can SQL Server 2000 DB do this?

it doesnt wrk.
ok here's what i did:
iv tested a simple code for this case.
I created a table name tblDate which has 3 columns namely date_ID, date_From (datatype datetime), date_To (datatype datetime).
I inserted 1 row: date_ID has the value 1, date_From has the value 10/22/2004, and date_To has the value 10/24/2004.
i run the java code below:
int days = 0;

How to transfer BLOB type of data from SQL Server to Oracle

Hi,
Actually, I create a table with BLOB type data in SQL server. In fact, there is not exact BLOB type in SQL server, it will be separated to image and ntext types. But there is exact BLOB type in Oracle.
I don't know how to transfer this "BLOB" type into Oracle with DTS or any other methods.
Many Thanks for your any suggestions,
Cathy

The fact that Excel can import a csv file doesn't make it an excel file.
If you have a csv file then you must use a csv driver or just use other code (not jdbc) to access it. There is, normally, a ODBC (nothing to do with java) text driver that can do that.

to migrate the database to Oracle 8.
We have redesigned the tables structure and created tables under
Oracle 8, so we only need to migrate data from SQL Server.
We've exported data from SQL Server to text files.
How can we import data from files and restore to Oracle tables.
Is there a solution which let us to import data for particular

How to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000?

how to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000.
IS THERE ANY UTILITY AVAILABLE?

Not a concern for an Oracle forum.
Als no need for SHOUTING.
Conventional solutions are
- dump the data to a csv file and load it in Mickeysoft SQL server
- use Oracle Heterogeneous services
- use Mickeysoft DTS
Whatever you prefer.

How to retrieve Min(startDate) and Max(endDate) for different groups of data? (sql server 2000)

My sample dataset (below) contains 3 groups -- 'a', 'b', 'c'. I need to retrieve the Min(startDate) and Max(EndDate) for each group so that the output looks something like this (date format not an issue):
fk   minStart      maxEnd
a    1/13/1985    12/31/2003
b    2/14/1986    12/31/2003
c    4/26/1987    12/31/2002
What is the Tsql to perform this type of operation? Note: the actual data resides in a sql server 2000 DB. If the Tsql is different between version 2000 and the later versions -- I would be grateful for both versions of the Tsql
--I noticed that multiple lines of Insert values doesn't work in Sql Server 2000 -- this sample is in Sql Server 2008
create table #tmp2(rowID int Identity(1,1), fk varchar(1), startDate datetime, endDate datetime)
insert into #tmp2
values
('a', '1/13/1985', '12/31/1999'),
('a', '3/17/1992', '12/31/1997'),
('a', '4/21/1987', '12/31/2003'),
('b', '2/14/1986', '12/31/2003'),

It is unclear what you are trying to achieve, you said that it is SQL Server 2000 but provide a sample data with SQL Server 2008 syntax
Is it possible to use UNION ALL for your queries to make its one
select * from
select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
(select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.startdate) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
UNION ALL
select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
(select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.Enddate desc) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
as der order by fk

How to extract incremental data from SQL server to oracle tables in ODI

HI All,
In my ODI sql server is install.My Source is in SQL server and my target is in Oracle.
I need to create a interface mapping where i need to extract incremental data from sql server to oracle.
There is a datetime(with Timestamp) field in sql server .I need to pull incremental data based on dateime.
Example = tablename.DateTime > (select '1-jan-11' from dual) .....i am using this query but its not woking.the error is Invalid object name"dual".
We are not going to use Incremental in IKM and LKM.
Request you to please provide any suggestion ASAP.
Thanks,
Lony

You can do that via Variable.
In the interface mapping create a filter on Tablename.DateTime
and put the condition like this
Tablename.DateTime BETWEEN #VAR and in the variable use this query in refreshing tab with oracle schema
SELECT max(start_time)||' AND '||max(END_TIME)+1 from audit_table where ETL_JOB_CODE = '20'In the package call the above variable in refresh mode and then interface.
This way you will pass from the query between and condition date and pass to interface so that SQL Server fetches the data between those too range.
Note:- You might need to tweak the date format so that SQL Server can understand.
Hope this helps.

Translating Oracle to Sql Server

My question is on an appropriate approach to take.
We have an very large company database that supports all of current software in Sql Server. A current requirement is to take data from a Oracle Database that has "agreed upon" tables and to "Translate" that to SQL Server and place them in agreed upon "Temp" tables. Then our other software will know what to do with these temp tables and do their thing.
Upon launching this translator application, it will delete all of those temp tables and do (what I just specified above).
My initial thought was to dump each Oracle table into a DataTable. Then delete any temp tables in our database. Then create the temp tables and begin updating our Sql Server by iterating through the DataTable performing updates?
Is this a good idea?

Well its not quite that simple. Our database has certain fields that are understood by other applications. So one is finding the equivalent after the initial translation. (That is why they are put in Temp tables)
One is translating this to Sql, the other is making it understood by these other applications. I wasn't looking for low levels answers in my posting but more of how I should do this.
The tables and data will be agreed upon by our customer...Thanks for considering my question but I think it is a bit more involved for a post, I will have to deliberate myself.
Thanks all

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Forms 10g in windows XP and having OAS 10g and Oracle database 9i.
How can we import data from SQL Server 2005 into Oracle tables using Oracle Forms?

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:

Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel

Hi,
We are trying to load several Excel files into SQL Server SSIS and we need to save the data in the database in the same order as it is in Excel..
My question is, Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel. If so, we will add a sequence to ensure we have the order.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhanumjay

Thanks for your response.
If it is one file then we can add an index column, but we have to load hundreds of files.
How adding an index/key column to the table works unless SSIS picks and loads the data in the table in the same order as it is in Excel?
Just to explain my question better,
If excel has three rows {a,b},{c,d},{e,f}, does SSIS ensure it loads the data in the same order in a table.
Thanks.
