Site Server Analysis Database Setup Doesn't Run on SQL Server 2000 Database with Japanese Default Sort Order (285963)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Site Server 3.0

This article was previously published under Q285963

SYMPTOMS

The Japanese version of Site Server 3.0 cannot set up a new database if the Japanese version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is being used.

CAUSE

During the creation of the Site Server database, the DBSetup program executes the following SQL statement.
exec sp_server_info 500 select 501,NULL,1 where 'a'='A' select 
504,c.name,c.description,c.definition from master.dbo.syscharsets 
c,master.dbo.syscharsets c1,master.dbo.sysconfigures f where f.config=1123 
and f.value=c1.id and c1.csid=c.id set textsize 2147483647 set 
ansi_defaults on set cursor_close_on_commit off set implicit_transactions 
off
				
This statement contains a reference to a sort order ID that is not in the Sysconfigures table when the default sort order is set to Japanese.
