how to translate numbers into English words using Sql Server.

Execute the following Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL database example scripts in Query Editor to demonstrate how to translate numbers into English words. 

Recursive UDF (user-defined function) is used to carry out the sql number to English words translation.
 
-- SQL number to words - SQL number to English - convert numbers into words
-- Translate number to text - Translate number to English - SQL number to check printing

USE AdventureWorks2008;
GO
-- SQL user-defined function - UDF - SQL scalar-valued function - SQL number to text
-- SQL numeric to words - integer to English - sql convert number to string

CREATE FUNCTION fnNumberToWords(@Number as BIGINT)
    RETURNS VARCHAR(1024)
