In the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Overview document on MSDN located here
http://www.yqcomputer.com/

It states, under the Language Support section:
"The SQL Server Express database engine supports all of the 12 languages
that MSDE supports. The targeted languages are English, Brazilian Portuguese,
Dutch, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish."

Am I right in saying that these are the only languages that Express can
handle character sets for? (ie. I could NOT store data in Greek/Hebrew with
Express?)

I am struggling to find a comparative list of the languages supported by SQL
Sever Enterprise 2005, so if anyone could point me a the right direction for
that info as well that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dcew,

No, you can store "all" languages and use all collations in Express (of
course including unicode).

But, what they may mean (which I don't know) is that it only supports some
languages for error messages GUI etc.

You are correct. The language support the article is referring to is
languages that SQL texts strings like error messages come in.
