Thanks for the tips. However, I may not be able to rely on the Control Panel setting because the server may be accessed by clients running different languages. Obviously using bind variables is the preferred technique since it is handled transparently. But I have some cases where I have to use the number directly in the SQL statement.

Is there a way to determine from the server what language the database is using? If not, I will probably have to add a table with a single row indicating what language the database is using. Received on Fri Feb 09 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
