Server configuration: default language

  • Άρθρο

Applies to: SQL Server

This article describes how to configure the default language server configuration option in SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio or Transact-SQL. The default language option specifies the default language for all newly created logins. To set default language, specify the langid value of the language you want. You can look up the langid value by querying the sys.syslanguages compatibility view.

Recommendations

The default language for a login can be overridden by using CREATE LOGIN or ALTER LOGIN. The default language for a session is the language for that session's login, unless overridden on a per-session basis by using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) or OLE DB APIs. You can only set the default language option to a language ID defined in sys.syslanguages (0-32). When you're using contained databases, a default language can be set for a database by using CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE, and for contained database users by using CREATE USER or ALTER USER. Setting default languages in a contained database accepts langid value, the language name, or a language alias as listed in sys.syslanguages.

Permissions

Execute permissions on sp_configure with no parameters or with only the first parameter are granted to all users by default. To execute sp_configure with both parameters to change a configuration option or to run the RECONFIGURE statement, a user must be granted the ALTER SETTINGS server-level permission. The ALTER SETTINGS permission is implicitly held by the sysadmin and serveradmin fixed server roles.

Use SQL Server Management Studio

  1. In Object Explorer, right-click a server and select Properties.

  2. Select the Advanced tab.

  3. In the default language box, choose the language in which Microsoft SQL Server should display system messages.

    The default language is English.

Use Transact-SQL

  1. Connect to the Database Engine.

  2. From the Standard bar, select New Query.

  3. Copy and paste the following example into the query window and select Execute. This example shows how to use sp_configure to configure the default language option to French (2).

    USE master;
GO

EXECUTE sp_configure 'default language', 2;
GO

RECONFIGURE;
GO

The setting takes effect immediately without restarting the server.
