I have created a database with SQL Azure and everything works fine except for date insertion. Our CMS only works with the British English language and I believe the default language is English, not British English.

As far as I can tell there is no way to modify users using the GUI so I have manually created a new user, bound it to the database etc and tried:

ALTER LOGIN mylogin WITH DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = British;

However I get the error:

‘Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ‘DEFAULT_LANGUAGE’.

Does anyone know if changing the default language is possible?

    SQL Azure doesn’t support the changing of language, among other options, for your login object.

    SQL Azure Database does not support the following arguments and options when using the ALTER LOGIN statement:

    <set_option> options:
    DEFAULT_DATABASE
    DEFAULT_LANGUAGE
    CHECK_POLICY
    CHECK_EXPIRATION
    CREDENTIAL
    NO CREDENTIAL

    Likely it goes back to the idea and implementation that SQL Azure is a subset of SQL Server, and not a direct analog.
