Changing MSDB Collation

Mar 25, 2004

I support an applicatoin where the vendor requires the use of the LATIN_1_GENERAL_BIN sort collation in their user databases. Origionally, when I installed the instance, I did not select this sort collation for the instance. I have since gone back and reinstalled SQL Server with the correct sort collation. After that, I restored the vendors databases from backups I took prior to reinstalling the instnace and they retained the LATIN_1_GENERAL_BIN collation (the correct one).

I also restored the MSDB database to get all of my jobs back. When I did this, MSDB took the old sort collation (SQL_LATIN_1_GENERAL_CPI_CI_AS). MSDB is the only database that has this collation and I'm getting errors in the agent log complaining of collation conflicts. I'm pretty sure the fact that the MSDB sort collation is different that all the other databases is the thing that's causing these error messages.

My question is this: Is there any way to change the sort collation of MSDB without reinstalling SQL server? This is a clustered environment and everytime I've reloaded SQL, it's been cumbersome and taken me at least 1 day's work.

Also, I know there's a rebuild master utility that will rebuild master, model and MSDB, but when I tried that last time it failed and I had to reinstall SQL anyway. Does anyone know of a way around this or have any tips on using the rebuildmaster utility in a clustered environment?

Many thanks,

SQL Server 2005: Changing Latin1_General_BIN Collation To Latin1_General_CI_AS Collation

May 1, 2007

Hello,



I've restored a SQL Server 2000 database with a Latin1_General_BIN collation from a .dmp file to a SQL Server 2005 server with a default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. When I try to change the database collation I get hundreds of the following error:

The object 'CK_PM10200_GLPOSTD_00AF8CF' is dependent on database collation. So, in this case, is it even possible to change the collation if there are objects in the database that are dependent on it?



Thanks,

Bruce

Changing Collation Of Server

Mar 15, 2001

I need to change the default collation of all dbs on all my servers to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI from SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We need to do compares and sorts and want to ignore accents -- something that wasn't clear when we built the servers. I know this has to do with "re-building databases" -- maybe even including the master -- but I'm not certain exactly what this means. Thanks!

Changing SQL Collation On Database

Jan 11, 2008

Hi there,

We currently install some of client's databases on SQL Server 2000 with the collation set to Latin1_General_BIN but we have one client that was installed and now running on SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and I was wondering if we can change the collation on the database to Latin1_General_BIN?

Would this have any adverse affects on the DB or the data within it? Our strings are nvarchar.

Thanks for your help

Error Changing Name Collation

Jul 29, 2013

I am trying to change the name collation of a SQL database as an update script I am running needs the main collation to be SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

I have tried going into Properties and options then changing the collation type but I get this error

"The Database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation. ALTER DATABASE failed. The default collation of database 'nutri93' cannot be set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS."

I have tried SQL scripts that I have found to take the database into a single user mode but still get the same errror.

Usually its this Database nutri93 could not be locked exclusively

How I can change the collation type? Currently the only option seems to be a complete hard install of SQL Management Studio

Changing Location Of Master, Msdb, Tempdb, Etc

Nov 3, 2003

When SQLserver2K was installed it placed master, model, msdb, tempdb data files in the installation location (i.e. C:Program Files....). This puts pressure on the C: drive, which also holds the page/swapfile. I want to move at least the tempdb location to the new 'Default data directory' and log directory we set after installation (i.e. E:MSSQLData).

How do I get tempdb to relocate to E: given that it gets recreated each time SQLserver starts?

TIA,

Al

SQL Server 2005 Changing DB Collation

Apr 24, 2007

Hi,

I have a DB which has its collation set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and i need to change it to Latin1_General_CI_AS,

does anyone have any idea how to do this?

i have tried right clicking on the DB and changing its collation in the options tab, but this only changes what the default is, so all the old columns still have the old collatin,

does anyone know how to change this?

Changing Database Collation Setting?

Mar 6, 2012

I currently have a server with the collation set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

However, some of the databases within the server are set to Latin1_General_BIN, probably because they were restored from another server some time ago. Also, even within the databases that have Latin1_General_BIN, some of the columns are set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, very confusing to say the least.

What i would like to do is change the database collation settings for these databases to match the server setting. I would also like to change all of the tables within these databases to have the columns also set to the server collation settings.

I'm looking for the steps that i would need to take to make sure i don't mess anything up as these databases have there own sets of views and sp's that run each day.

Transact SQL :: Changing Collation On Import

Sep 16, 2015

I'm importing data from a table on one database into a table in another database on the same instance. The FROM database is collated as "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and the TO database is collated as "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS".

When I then try joining on a common nvarchar column between the 2 tables, I get this error:

Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

Is there a way to change the collation of the incoming data as I'm inserting it into the TO table?

SQL Server 2008 :: Changing Collation Of Instance

Sep 15, 2015

Is it possible to change the collation of your instance?

As far as I know it is not possible to change the collation once SQL Server has been installed.

When I said that SQL needs to be reinstalled at work the guys sent me this link: [URL]....

I ran it exactly like that but the collation didn't change.

I have also restarted the services but the collation is still the same.

Am I running this code wrong or am I right about not being able to change the collation after installation?

Changing Database Collation Problem In SQL Server 2000

Mar 27, 2007

Hello...



When I migrated data from one SQL Server to another I got collection problems because collation of the target server was different from the source one.



The best solution I thought about was to change collation of the database in target server to be equal to the server collation so that when a temporary table is created, and the collation used would be the server collation, no error would occur. All sounds logic, but, after I ran ALTER DATABASE command and changed the collation of the database, I verified that all varchar fields of all database tables retained the old collation, not the new database collation I set.



Is there any way to change the collation of all fields at once when I change the database collation?



Thanks for your help

Msdb

Nov 6, 2000

I know that msdb is used to manage the job schedulers in sql server 7.0 ( job agent ). Does this (msdb) like other databases, where I can control its size, shrink it or expand it.

IF am backing up the msdb, and I errased all jobs scheduled in sql agen. Can I restore all the deleted Jobs by restoring the msdb.

MSDB Is Too Big

Dec 18, 2007

My MSDB is too big [about 14 GB]. When I closely looked all tables, here is what I found -

Top 3 biggest tables are -

sysmaintplan_logdetail - rows- 124923 - data - 13375456 KB
DTA_Tuninglog - 181658 rows - data - 163248 KB
sysmail_mailitems - records - 14227 data - 126208 KB

I am not a DBA, so if any one can explain in simple terms how I can cleanup this maintenance plan log detail without increasing the size of tempdb? How can I stop this database growing in the future?

I have only a gig of space left on that drive.

Thanks in advance

MSDB Problems

Feb 16, 2001

I have a problem with my MDSB database. After my nightly reboot, I received an error in my Lof File stating: Error 9001: Cannot file log device for msdb database. I looked and saw the msdblog.ldf, so I am alittle confused. I ran a dbcc checkdb, dbcc newalloc and dbcc updateusage on msdb, but I did not get any errors. I added an additional log file to try and fix it, but nothing has fixed it. I am perplexed because all my scheduled backups are failing.

Any additional advice would be helpful.

Thank you,

Moving Msdb

Feb 29, 2000

I want to move the physical location of the msdb database on a SQL server. However I cannot drop the database with the drop database statement, even setting it to dbo use only and single user mode. I get an error message saying the database is in use. Obviously I do not want to reinstall the server. The reason I want to move it is because it is located in the default dir on the C: drive which is running out of space.

Any ideas.....

Msdb Restoration

Dec 7, 2000

Hi !

when i am trying to restore MSDB database from a disk backup it is giving an error saying
"Database in use.System administrator must have exclusive use of the databse to run the restore operation".
But i am not using msdb anywhere.when i see the processes under current activities i see an application named sqlagent-alert engine using the database.even after killing this process it reppaears and stops the restore operation.
so i stopped sql server agent and did the restore operation.It worked.
so is it necessary to stop sql server agent while restoring msdb?may i know the logical reason for it?
