Hi, pretty sure that collation refers to sort order.
Language refers to date format however, but I could not find a server wide setting to change it. SELECT @@LANGUAGE AS 'Language Name' returns us_english in my SQL 2005 server. If the language was British it would default to dmy select * from master.dbo.syslanguages to check out the dateformats available. I gave up on CF and SQL working well with European\Aussie dates long ago. I like using SET DATEFORMAT DMY in all of my procedures, and within CF DateFormat( x, "dd-MMM-yyyy") but I agree that we should not have to. >>> Mike Kear <afpwebwo...@gmail.com> 08/06/2010 1:51 pm >>> @mgk: I'm doing the updates using ColdFusion. The only property I can find that's remotely associated with language or nationality or locale is the collation = SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS Can this be set to something else? Does it set the default date format property?
