Language Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The Language property exposes the language used by an instance of Microsoft SQL Server or a login.
Syntax
object
.Language [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A string that identifies an installed SQL Server language by name
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetLanguage(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetLanguage(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Remarks
SQL Server language records direct display of error and status messages by choosing localized text for messages and localized formatting for date values.
Set the Language property of the SQLServer object to alter the default language record used by all users on the referenced server. Set the Language property of a Login object to direct language use for a client connection using the referenced login.
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
