Change Collations In Many Tables Defined Using COLLATE
Jun 9, 2004
I have (inherited a) a db with lots of tables looking like the definition at the end of the message.
I need to change all these tables, so that all the textual fields follow the default DB collation.
Any help appreciated!
THANX...

What is 'COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS'? I am new to
SQLServer, and couldn't find much information on the Web. Also,
I am trying to understand user defined data types. For example,
In the following example, what is '[Price_DT]' data type? and how would
it be referenced at the time of 'INSERT'.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Dist_Orders_Master_Index] (
[SubTotal] [Price_DT] NOT NULL ,
[Tax] [Price_DT] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

Hi, i'm having a problem with my database. When i created it i specifie the collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_ci_as but now that i'm working on my domain server, the server only acepts databases with the collate latin1_general_ci_as so i tried to change my current (on my localhost) collate but i'm always getting this error:
Msg 5030, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation.
Msg 5072, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
ALTER DATABASE failed. The default collation of database 'databasexpto' cannot be set to Latin1_General_CI_AS.
How can i do it?

Hi there.
Is there any way to update the system tables directly, to alter the collations of the columns in the user db's?
I've tried the script below:
UPDATE Syscolumns SET collation = 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS' WHERE name = '<AddrCode>'
AND id = object_id('<Compliance>')
but, I get the following error message:
Server: Msg 271, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'collation' cannot be modified because it is a computed column.
Can you please help me! I need to do thousands of these, and most of them has constraints on, so my script I generated to do the ALTER TABLE.... ALTER COLUMN does not suffice.
Thanks.

Hello, We had a developer that created some user defined data types. He is no longer with our company and we want to change owner of those user defined data types so we will be able to delete his UUID. Is their a way to change the owner of the user defined data types from his ID to dbo. I don't see a way to change them with sp_changeobjectowner
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Does anybody know an easy way to change User Defined Data Types ownership to “dbo”, without dropping dependent objects?
I know that there is a st. proc sp_changeobject owner, but it does not deal with this particular db objects. Is there a similar st.procedure or script that would do the same operation?
Thank you

Change structure of a User Defined Table Types
     field
([idConteudo] [int]

Or really should drop and create again?
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[tbProjeto] AS TABLE(

[idConteudo] [int] NULL,
[dtConteudo] [datetime] NULL DEFAULT (getdate())

I have a requirement of creating nested tables in SQL server. how to create them. Just to give a background I am trying to move the RDBMS from oracle to SQL server.
Structure of tables is as follows. I have table 'Employees' with address as one of the column. I have one more table with columns Street, Town, Dist, State. When I query the table 'Employees' I should see the attribute name and values of all the columns in address table in address column.
Employees: with columns: ID, FirstName, LastName, dept, gender, dob, address
Address (Nested table): with columns : Street, Town, Dist, State
This was done in oracle using Nested tables and user defined data types. what is alternative for this in SQL server. How can I achive this requirement in SQL server.

Hi there. I'm trying to create a copy of a remote database for development purposes. I am useing MySQL, the remote database is in MSSQL. The create table commands contain a collation titled
quote:SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
which MySQL doesn't recognise. The three most similar collations I can find in MySQL are:
quote:
'latin1_general_ci',
'latin2_general_ci'
'latin7_general_ci'
Does anyone know the difference between these collations? And whether any of them is equivalent to the MSSQL code I have to implement?
thanks! Dave

I want to create a database where the table names / column names / SP namesare NOTcase sensitive but where the data in the tables is, so that I canbuild a unique index where 'test' and TEST' is accepted as different.I have tried Installing SQL with a Collation designator with the CaseSensitive option checked- this caused all sp names / column names / table names to be casesensitive - not what I want.I have also tried installing SQL and selecting a SQL Collation and pickingan option from the drop down list. - again this cause everything to be casesensitive - not desiredDo I have to install SQL with a non case sensitive collation, then set eachcolumn in the table to be case sensitive? What if any are the problems I amlikely to come across?ThanksSteve

Hi,
I noticed that when I installed SQL2000,with "typical install",
the default, the following will be used:
SQL collation (dictionary order, case-insensitive, assent sensitive)
sp_helpsort will give
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI
Is there any difference if I choose the "custom install", then and choose
the windows locale which gives the result of sp_helpsort:
Latin1_General_CI_AI
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI is supposed for backward compatibilty, so are
they actually equivalent ??
Any impact or difference we have to be aware of ??
Anyone knows..Thx

I have looked thru the forum but have a couple of questions:
1) data base was created with case insensitive collation
2) all the tables were then create (72 tables) and by default got the CI collation on all columns
3) lots of data was added 2GB
4) discovered mistake and altered the database to have case sensitive collation
5)..... how to change all the collations for all the columns without doing them all manually
can i backup the database and change some settings and restore it?
export all the data, drop and recreate tables and import data?
????

I have developed a tool to allow project developers to easily re-create the entire schema for our base product. The current issue involves setting the correct collation for the customers' region. Our brother company in Germany uses the same db creation tool and scripts, and we here in the US also have customers in South America. My ultimate question is "what subset of collation names would be necessary to provide the project developer?" I could query the database to get all the collation names, but I think it was around 1000 names. Can I query to get a smaller subset of the most relevant collation names?

Hello. Here a two different problems that occur one and a while when I try to import a textfile to SQL Server 2005.
I have a flat file connection to a csv-file that originally is a export from an AS4000 DB2 database
This csv-file is defined as a variable length file
Why do SSIS automatically interpret the length of each column as varchar(50)? It does not matter if a define the same file as a fixed lenght file. The problem is that I will get a warning that information in columns will be truncated. I would like to do a direct export to the SQL Server 2005 table with shorter varchar fields. I can solve this by using the task for transforming data types but this only works on the text fields. This task cannot transform a string to a decimal or an integer column in the SQL Server 2005 table. Is there no other way than having a staging table between the text file and the SSIS-data pipe?
I also get a lot of collation or code page errors even if we set the receiving columns to nvarchar and nchar. Is there any good article on this subject? Code page errors
Last question. Is there parameter support in the data reader source connection?
I appreciate all help.
Regards
Thomas Ivarsson

Hi!
I have an application that access an SQL Server database with collate Turkish_CI_AS.
The application work fine (I have special attention with the 'i'/'I' problem).
We sended our application to some partners, that have the collate of their server as Turkish_CI_AI.
One of the database are alread with this collate, and one is create during installation, with the Turkish_CI_AS collate.
And they get some wird problems, like the message "Item cannot be found in collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal".
Can someone bring me some "light" please? :)
I'm using SQL Server 2000, some stored procedures and an Delphi 7.0 application.
Thanks in advance and sorry for be so newbe ;)!

Hi,
When I try to execute a package I get this following error. I have a bunch of similar packages which runs fine on the same source(sybase) and destination(sqlserver 2005), just different tables. Only few of them fails and all of them have the same error of "Unable to resolve column level collations. Bulk-copy cannot continue". I checked for the dtatatype and length between source and destination, both are same. The user have all the required rights on the objects in both source and destination.
Error at Data Flow Task For Test1 - test_tbl_job [OLE DB Destination [16]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unable to resolve column level collations. Bulk-copy cannot continue.".
Error at Data Flow Task For Test1 - test_tbl_job [OLE DB Destination [16]]: Failed to open a fastload rowset for "testdb..tbl2". Check that the object exists in the database.
On further trial and error I found that if I remove the fast load option, it works without glitch.
Its kind of wierd though....
Any body has faced this situation?
Thanks

I am attempting an import of an SQL DB from a local MSDE SQL Server to an SQLServer 2000. I used the Web Data Administrator to create an export file, and then I wanted to perform an import to the actual server. I get the error "Syntax error near 'COLLATE'". I don't know much about syntax when it comes to this. Here is a snippet from there. I am new to this, so I hope someone out there can help me out.
CREATE DATABASE [NewDB] ON (NAME = N'NewDB', FILENAME = N'CORRECTFILEPATH' , SIZE = 3, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'NewDB_log', FILENAME = N'CORRECTFILEPATH' , SIZE = 1, FILEGROWTH = 10%)
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

All the "N" don't look like they belong, but they have been added throughout the entire SQL document.

Hi, I have a SQL Server for a SAP database with the collationSQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN. When I connect to that server (or, inthis example, to another server with the SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BINcollation) and execute a select, the accents seem weird:select t.TEXTfrom [GC-SAP02].P01.p01.AGR_TEXTS twhere t.MANDT = '300'and t.SPRAS = 'E'and t.AGR_NAME = 'ZCD_GEST_DEUDA_PATENTE_SD'TEXT-----------------------------------Gesti¾n de deudas patentes en SD UP(1 row(s) affected)But if I connect to a "normal" SQL Server with aSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation, and execute the same selectthru a linked server:TEXT-----------------------------------Gestión de deudas patentes en SD UP(1 row(s) affected)I need to perform the select connected to theSQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN and get the results as I were connected tothe SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS server. I tried with cast and collate,but I can't get it to work:select t.TEXT collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASfrom [GC-SAP02].P01.p01.AGR_TEXTS twhere t.MANDT = '300'and t.SPRAS = 'E'and t.AGR_NAME = 'ZCD_GEST_DEUDA_PATENTE_SD'Any ideas???

I'm recreating many of my DBA scripts that no longer work in 2005 due to the rework of system tables. It's a risk I lived with knowing that someday the system tables would change. I'm now encountering collation problems, which I do not understand. I know how to fix the problem, but I don't know why the collation issues exist in the first place.
Run the following command.
Select * From sys.all_objects a JOIN master..spt_values b on a.type = b.type
You will receive the following error.
Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS" in the equal to operation.
Now run sp_help 'sys.all_objects' and look at the collation defintion for columns "type" and "type_desc". In my environment they have a collation of Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS. This is different then the overall default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, thus causing the error.
My question is why did Microsoft need to make this collation different for these columns?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Dave
