Changing Collations...
Mar 2, 2006
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?
????

Each database has around 180 tables, Ihave changed the collation on DB, but changing collation manually oneach column is a daunting process. Is there any script or tool whichcan assist in doing this.Appreciate your help.ThanksSAI

Can anyone point me to collation chart for Latin1_General and CP850?
I'm having conversion difficulties dealing with diacritics and want to look into the specifics.
Thanks,

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

Should a programmer bother using nvarchar for a person's name (special chracters allowed) if I still use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS?

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

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!

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

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.

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

Default code page in ETL package is 1252 which will not work if the collation is different e.g in Japanese_CI_AS, it is 932.
My question is how to write a generic ETL package so that it can cater any collation or any code page.

A college forgot to change the data root when installing a developer server. My question is can this be changed whitout reinstalling the server and restoring the developer databases.
I found sqldataroot under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerSetu pSQLDataRoot]
If I stop the sql server and change this value and move the *.mdb and *.ldf files. Would I risk currupting the databases and do I need to change something else? For example would changeing this value change the default path for backupdevices?

I have a problem where our developers would like to change the passwords of the SQL Logins without knowing the users old password.
The only way they can use the below syntax is that they must be a member of the SYSAdmin Server Role.
sp_password NULL, 'newpassword',Max
I need a way to allow them to change the passwords without making a user a member of the SYSAdmin Server Role.
Any thoughts would be greatly apprecitated. Thanks in advance.

I`m running SQL 6.5 with standard security. We`re running NT 4.0. I am a member of the NT Admin group - which, of course, has sa privileges in SQL Server. I changed the sa password (via Enterpise Manager on my client machine); and it worked. I tested the password change by connecting to ISQL/w - both on my client machine and at the server machine.
However, when I attempted to connect to the server via Enterprise Manager (SEM) - on my client machine - my login attempt failed. But at the server machine, I connected just fine.
Somehow, even though we`re using standard security, I`m getting locked out of SEM because of the new password. Changing the sa password back to what it had been resolved the problem; but the old password was only meant to be temporary.
Any suggestions or explanations?

Hi,
During SQL installation I left the SA password blank. Now when I try to change it, the event log fills up with the following errors:
Mesg 18456 : Login failed- User: sa.
I am using SQL database for SMS and I have a SMS service account.
The error type in event viewer is "Failure Audit".
I am stopping and starting SQL once changes are made. I am also registering server with "Use Trusted Connection". I have also tried with "Use Standard Security" and the SA account.
Can anyone tell me how to change my SA password without affecting my SMS service account?
Thanks,
Terry

Hi all,
I have a table that has integrity constraints in place and it is populated with the data. I need to rename one of the columns in the table. I am hesitant to use sp_rename procedure because when I used it before I get a warning message that says "changing any part of an object name could break scriptd and stored procedure." how big of a problem is it? Is there any other way to do it without hearting anything? Thanks.

We are building an inventory management system complete with BOM. It is important to track what employee is updating what tables. Currently all such tables have a Date field that is updated when a change is made, and an EmployeeID field which records the employee making the change. I am wondering if someone knows of a better way to track this information. Any suggestions?

Finally, I may have a good enough excuse to justify changing the compatabilty level of one of the biggies I look after!
Before I go ahead with the change I just wanted to run a couple of questions passed the community.
I know this is very vague, but what sort of problems should I expect? I know there are a few syntax changes, but I don't imagine I will have a problem going up in compatability level!
What is the best method to perform this?
A very simple
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
Or
ALTER DATABASE SET SINGLE_USER
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
ALTER DATABASE SET MULTI_USER
How long does this process take; are we talking seconds, minutes, hours? I imagine it's seconds, but I pose this question because a colleague reckons it will take longer because of the database size. I argue that because it's a db configuration setting, it will make no difference...
Thanks a bunch,
George
