Localization of Reports

Are there any plans to improve the process of localizing reports? for example, it would be nice to extend the RDL schema to include a section for resource strings and localization information.

Thanks

This is very high on our wish list. Unfortunately, it will most likely not make it in Katmai.

|||

Hi Brian,

Sorry to hear that we won't see this functionality in Katmai. Should we start a campaign and try to get it into Katmai J?

Given we have to deal with this reality for a while, what is the best approach to localize reports. We know about the recommendation in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156493.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964130.aspx.

We have 100’s of reports and we don’t want to make sacrifice performance, if possible.

Thanks

Local temporary table schema

Is there a way to get the schema (columns) of a local temporary table in SQL
Server 2005? TEMPDBO.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS lists the columns, but if
multiple connections use the same temp table name, there doesn't seem to be a
way to differentiate between them. Each table name is appended with a bunch
of underscores and a random number (i.e.
"#MyTable__________________________________________________________________________________________________________0000000002B0"),
but that doesn't seem to help much.
Thanks,

It seems odd that you would need to do this, since your code for the =current connection had to know how to create the #Temp Table.
However, if you must, you could use this as a starting point:
SELECT * FROM Tempdb..sysobjects WHERE name LIKE '%#Temp%'
SELECT * FROM Tempdb..syscolumns WHERE id =3D object_ID('tempdb..#Temp')

Amish Shah|||Hi Rich,
Thank you for your posting!
You could use the object_ID function to get the object id of the temporary
table you current user created.
As Arnie mentioned, you could use the following statement to query the
information.
SELECT *
FROM Tempdb..sysobjects
WHERE id = object_ID('tempdb..#TEMP')
SELECT *
FROM Tempdb..syscolumns
WHERE id = object_ID('tempdb..#TEMP')
Hope this will be helpful!
