BUG: French version of SQL Server Writes SQL Performance Monitor Counters Wrong

• Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

SYMPTOMS

When installing the French version of SQL Server on the French version of Windows NT 4.0, under French, the SQL Server performance monitor counters are not listed in the Windows NT Performance Monitor.

CAUSE

The SQL Server performance monitor counters are written in French to the English performance monitor counters file (perfc009.dat) and are not written to the French performance monitor counters file perfc00c.dat).

Due to the incorrect behavior, the following registry key will incorrectly contain the SQL performance monitor counters written in French instead of the SQL performance monitor counters written in English:

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\winnt\currentversion\perflib\009

Additionally, the following registry key should contain the SQL performance monitor counters written in French, but instead will contain no SQL performance monitor counters:

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\winnt\currentversion\perflib\00C

WORKAROUND

The following workaround can be used, but all performance counters will be displayed in English:

• Copy the file 'perfc009.dat' to the name 'perfc00c.dat'



• Copy the file 'perfh009.dat' to the name 'perfh00c.dat'

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5.
