Re: Multilingual versions of SQL Express 2005 available ? Where ?

Hi Keith,

As Mike has said, so far t here is no other language version of the SQL
EXPRESS 2005 available. However, as for testing our own applicaiton's
internationalization ability, it is not necessary to have a specific
language version of SQL Express. All the english version SQL Server can
store all the characters of other language.... Generally, if our
application is using Unicode as the text's charset, the SQLserver's buildin
unicode text column can correctly store them... Also, if you want to store
the text as a specific charset(code page...), the SQLserver also provide
most common Collations that mapped to those common charsets or codepages....

There is a msdn article dicussing on the SQL 2000's international support,
it also applies to all the sqlserver instances....
