Wrong Language Format - Please Help.

  • I have an instance where SQL2000 was installed with the language set to United States. I need to change this setting to UK permanently.

    Databases have been created before I realised that the language was incorrect. What would be the best way forward to resolve?

  • You change the default language for users several different ways. Check out "default language option" in BOL.

    You can also change the language for each user session.

  • If I alter the sp_defaultlanguage from US_english to British and run against all databases will this work?

  • sp_defaultlanguage is for login.

    And you could use "SET LANGUAGE" or reconfigurate the setting of server properties to reset the server level language environment.

  • sp_defaultlanguage would only be for login sessions. If you want to run sp_configure which will change the global configuration options for the server.
