Microsoft Dynamics GP Great Plains East European Options overview for consultant
|
1. Eastern European Alphabets and SQL Server collation. Eastern European languages adopted French and Spanish approaches in the beginning of 20th century in the sense of extending Latin alphabet characters with accents. In Microsoft SQL Server you can pick dictionary order with collation for the server as default, plus you can supersede these settings on the new database level and even for the specific table. In Eastern European alphabets, such as Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, etc - you will find so called accents, or tiny additions to the common Latin characters, to help reader modify the pronounce of the letter. The problem for British and Polish Great Plains installations is default Latin (UK) or Polish collateral which makes impossible to save different accents in your SQL database 2. ASCII table and its second register. Microsoft Dynamics GP is originally and currently written (meaning programmed) in Great Plains Dexterity, which in turn is the shell, developed in C programming language. C is of course partially operating system independent, however it is lagging behind the technology, especially when you are talking about such nuances as SQL Server DB collaterals and ASCII table international options. In order to force Dexterity application to properly work with the second register of ASCII table, you should consider to deploy either native Windows XP or better Vista, as Vista is available for large selection of the countries in Europe 3. Great Plains and Unicode. Here Dexterity is less powerful and you have to deploy characters entry interception utilities. In Europe, however, most if not all of the languages have ASCII and non Unicode nature About The Author: Andrew Karasev, Alba Spectrum LLC, help@albaspectrum.com http://www.albaspectrum.com 1-866-528-0577, Great Plains, VAR, Partner and Reseller in Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina, California, Texas.
