Parts

String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetLanguage(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetLanguage(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
SQL Server language records direct display of error and status messages by choosing localized text for messages and localized formatting for date values.
Set the Language property of the SQLServer object to alter the default language record used by all users on the referenced server. Set the Language property of a Login object to direct language use for a client connection using the referenced login.
