Collation Questions SQL Server 2005 SP2
Oct 10, 2007
A few collation questions on SQL Server 2005 SP2, which I'll call SQLS.
The default collation for SQLS is apparently SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
I wish to use a variation of this, SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AI
collation, but there is no such collation returned from
fn_helpcollations(). Also, if I try to use this collation in
a CREATE DATABASE stmt, SQLS yells about it.
I see that there is a Latin1_General_CS_AI. What effects are there
in using this collation? The SQL_* collations are SQL collations,
while non-SQL_* collations are Windows collations, yes? SQLS runs
only on Windows, so am I safe in using Latin1_General_CS_AI? What
does the CP1 in the SQL collation signify? Am I asking for trouble?
------------------------------------
Assuming that I set Latin1_General_CS_AI (or any other case-sensitive
collation) at the database level, I believe my DDL/DML for that database
also becomes case-sensitive. How can I specify that I want ONLY my data
access to be case-sensitive, and not my DDL/DML? I don't want to have
to remember to type "select * from MyCamelCase" when "mycamelcase"
should work.
Any help appreciated.

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

Hi
What is the default collation SQL 2000 Server takes during installation on Windows 2000?
Can it be chosen during installtion of SQL 2000 or does it depend on my regional options and according them the SQL 2000 server default collation will be selected?
Why can it happen that the user datebases have collation Latin1_General_CI_AS and the tempdb has collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS?
I ran into problems as temporary data had to be compared residing in temp db's on tempdb and the result was a collation conflict!
In the BOL it says:
"When you install an instance of SQL Server, you can specify the default collation for that instance during setup"
but I had no window or dialog during installation of SQL2000 Personal Edition where I could select the collation.
How can I change default collation of SQL 2000 Server?
Anyone has some more informations?
Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply. I have one more question about collation. In my production server we have SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and on other server (from where i want to move database to prod server) the collation is Latin1_General_CI_AI . can i move the database form one server to another even if they have different collation. The both servers are sql server 2005 and the production server is standard edition and the other server is developer edition. I wanted to move the databases from developer edition. Could some body help me with this. Thank you very much.

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?

Hello All-
Our production sql 2000 systems have collation setting as "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS". The new production db server[sql 2005] has been installed and configured with "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" collation.
The issue is with the dev est servers. A few of them has been configured with collation "Latin1_General_CI_AS". Recently I have noticed a string comparison failed with collation related message due to the serverdb collation difference.
I have not come across any specific collation recommendation from Microsoft. Are there any specific recommendations from Msft on collation? I can forsee issues, if we have to perform any testsany feautre development on a production copy in dev est environments which involves string comparisons.
This issue is more important since we are on a Migration path which involves large some number of servers in dev est environments. My recommendation to the team at our place was to rebuild the already configured servers which has "Latin1_General_CI_AS" collation and change the server collation to "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS".
I would really appreciate if you could share your thoughts on this issue.
TIA,
Mkumar

Hi,
I'm installing SQL Server 2005 on windows 2003 R2.
Which Collation Designator is to be used so that the both English as well as Arabic characters can be stored simultaneously...?
That is "The collation settings designator which support both Arabic as well as English character set"...
Thanks,

Scenario
Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005.
Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' -
1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability>
on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table
BCP out data
DROP TABLE
RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS)
BCP in data
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance
David.

Hi ,
We want to install 2 applications that run on SQL server 2005 but the requirement of database installation are different Collation setting ( One require Dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with 1252 Character Set and other require Dictionary order, case-sensitive, for use with the 437 (US English) Character set).
So the question here could I install both two applications successfully on same platform ? and if yes how?
Thanks and regards,

I need a SQL Server 2005 SP2 instance with a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2. After installing SP2, the collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN, and none of the patches I can find seem to want to work (they are all apparently written for SQL Server 2000).
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
We are currently running a corporate client with Windows 2000 and .Net 1.1. We are running a number of SQL Server 2000 applications and are now thinking of upgrading to SQL Server 2005 as part of a data consolidation exercise. I am concerned on a number of points:
Can I connect to SQL Server 2005 using old ADO connectors? We have about 40 Excel VBA solutions, and we dont want to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 if we will be unable to connect to the data source. We cannot upgrade any new versions of MDAC or upgrade the .NET framework so this is a concern.
Do we need .NET 2.0 or Visual Studio 2005 to connect and work with SQL Server 2005? If so, this will be a problem as we cannot upgrade any client beyond .NET 1.1, and only have VS 2003 as a scripted application we can install for any development.
Has anyone have any experience of the KPI capabilities of SQL 2005? We are bordering on committing to a Business Objects BI platform, and having worked with BO Dashboard Manager and Performance Manager for 4 months (it was horrible), I am not relishing the prospect and would like to propose SQL 2005 as an alternative.
Many, many thanks
Indy

I recently upgraded to sql server 2005 for developing on my local system and cant seem to find the option that automatically sets the drop procedure at the top and the usernames on the bottom of a procedure that I script as new. I used to do it in the old query analyzer so Im sure its in there somewhere. Thanks in advance for any help.RyanOC

Hi pardon my ignorance but I wonder if someone could answer a few questions for me.
I am writing a program which will be used by perhaps upto 100 users at a time. The program sits on any number of PCs and loads user specific data to a given PC according to who has logged on to windows on that PC.
A number of data items loaded from the user table have to be unique as they are usernames for other systems that my program simplifies access to.
So when a user logs on to my program for the first time a row is created for them in the user table (indexed by a GUID and their unique network name). The other unique fields are left blank and the user is given an opportunity to fill these details in.
Before writing these details to the user's row in the 'users table' the program loads the whole user table down and checks that these items are unique before committing them to that user's row in the table.
The problem of course is that if between the program downloading the user table into a local datatable, checking the values are unique and then actually writing them someone else writes the same data into their row then 2 users end up with the same data - which shouldn't be allowed. i.e. 2 users can't have the same user name for the other software.
How can I solve this problem with locking? Once the user table is downloaded and in a locel datatable presumably the table is no longer locked so another user could write data to the table.
I acutally think this is going to be a pretty rare occourance but I still want to try to cover all eventualities.
I suspect the problem is the way my program is going about the checking.
Should I use an SQL insert statement like??
If exists(SELECT username from users where username=@username)
BEGIN
RAISEERROR("Username already exists")
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT etc
If so I guess this will simplify my code. Is this the correct thing to do? And then just trap the errors that arise if a duplicate does arise?
Also some more general questions.
1)I presume 2 users simultaneously looking up data from 2 different rows in a table doesn't lock the table so one search fails? I use the code below having set up a command to run a stored procedure to search for a user by their network name.
Dim lclRowRet As SqlDataReader
lclRowRet = LoadUserCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SingleRow)
lclRowRet.Read()
2) I presume writing data to my user table a row at a time will also not cause a lock. I create a command object with all the row values in and then do a command.executenonquery()
As a rule I close all my connections as soon as I'm done with them.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

I am using SQL Server 2008. In ServerProperty function, there are two properties called “Collation” and “CollationID”. In some cases, I will only know the CollationID. Is it possible get the collation name from the CollationID? Is there a function called CollationNameFromID?

So I am fairly new to Express and I have installed it on my development machine; much tio my chagrin it is quite difficult to import data into SQLEXPRESS. I have a 'sa' account setup and I have created a new database and table within that database, however, when I try to import data into that table by setting up a link server to excel I am having some major issues!
I ran this code first to create the linked server...
DECLARE @RC int
DECLARE @server nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @srvproduct nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @provider nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @datasrc nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @location nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @provstr nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @catalog nvarchar(128)
-- Set parameter values
SET @server = 'XLTEST_SP'
SET @srvproduct = 'Excel'
SET @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
SET @datasrc = 'c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls'
SET @provstr = 'Excel 11.0'
EXEC @RC = [master].[dbo].[sp_addlinkedserver] @server, @srvproduct, @provider, @datasrc, @location, @provstr, @catalog
Next I try to run any of the statement below and I get the errors pasted below...
SELECT * FROM Anchor_Hocking...Sheet1$
EXECUTE SP_TABLES_EX 'Anchor_Hocking'
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=c:Anchor_Hocking blactionlist.xls;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Sheet1$
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "Anchor_Hocking".
The file is not open. I have granted full access rights to all users....I am really frustrated!
Also, how can I get SSIS on this machine with SQLEXPRESS?

First of all I would like to politely greet everybody as I'm new on that forum and new to Data Mining in fact.
To introduce myself I can say I'm a student of Computer Science and I'm trying to use Time Series algorithm for weather analysis. I know that forecasting weather is a hopeless task even for the fastest computers in the world but what I'm trying to do is a kind of aposteriori analysis of historical data to notice some dependencies or characteristic weather behavior on a specified region and perhaps make some short time predictions.
I tried Time Series Algorithm although I have some doubts about methodological justification of this choice (if You have any critical comments please share them with me). But my main questions are about the usage of the algorithm itself:
I've read the documentation and a tutorial on this page for historical predictions but I still don't know what exactly are HistoricalModelCount and HistoricalModelGap. I know that my historical predictions are bounded by a HistoricalModelCount*HistoricalModelGap*, but it's a rather operational knowledge... The explanation is always clouded with an internal model? phrase. Can You point me to a document where I can find some more detailed information? (What is the form of the model? How is it built? etc.)
Periodicity Hint. How should I treat these optional values? Are they other possible periods of data? I have data about weather measurements made every six hours for thirteen years** so is it a good choice to set this parameter to {365*4,4} (The first goes for a year and the second for a day)?
This is a technical question and I'm really ashamed of myself that I bother You with it. On the time chart in a model Viewer I can see date from the last year only. Zooming out/in, clicking insanely on every pixel on the screen, did not give any result (apart of broken mouse buttons). Is is possible to browse that data in mining model viewer chart?
Thank You in advance for Your replies!
*This formula suggests how this parameters could work but I would like to know it for sure don't want to make some awful mistakes in my project. :-)
**Of course I plan to reduce the amount of data but the period will stay.

The first question is how to of TimeSeries Algorithm?
Using SQL Server 2005 TimeSeries Algorithm ,I build a data mining model.But after three days,it is still training.The data has 2,200,00 rows.
So what can i do to improve the processing speed.
Thanks!
The second question is parameters in Data Mining Query Task.
Data Mining Query Task is used to get data from data mining model.In the mining model form, i choose a mining model . And in the query form,i wrote a dmx ,"select flattened top 100 predicttimeseries([Xssl],1)
from [Time Series XSSL]".Last i choose a table that is for the data from mining model.
If the "100" is variable , how can i do ?
Thanks a lot!

All:
I am writing an Internet/Extranet based (ASP.Net 2.0) web application that uses SQL server 2005 as the database. I am using forms authentication on my web application. I am also storing the connection string to SQL server in my web config file. The conn string is encrypted using DPAPI with entropy. I currently have created a SQL login account on my SQL server for use by the web application. This is the user ID I am using in my conn string. The reason for this is because all persons using the application will NOT have a windows login.
Here is my question: The login I created currently has defaulted to the "dbo" role and therefore has "dbo" rights to the database. I want to setup up this login account so that all it can do is execute stored procedures. I dont want this SQL login to be able to do anything else. In my application I am using stored procedures for ALL data access functions, via a data access layer in my application. Can someone guide me step by step as to how to setup this type of access for this SQL login.
Thanks,
Blue.

I have a webpage that displays 4000 or more records in a GridView control powered by a SqlDataSource. It's very slow. I'm reading the following article on custom paging: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031506-1.aspx. This article uses an ObjectDataSource, and some functionality new to Sql Server 2005 to implement custom paging.There is a stored procedure called GetEmployeesSubestByDepartmentIDSorted that looks like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetEmployeesSubsetByDepartmentIDSorted( @DepartmentID int, @sortExpression nvarchar(50), @startRowIndex int, @maximumRows int)AS IF @DepartmentID IS NULL -- If @DepartmentID is null, then we want to get all employees EXEC dbo.GetEmployeesSubsetSorted @sortExpression, @startRowIndex, @maximumRows ELSE BEGIN -- Otherwise we want to get just those employees in the specified department IF LEN(@sortExpression) = 0 SET @sortExpression = 'EmployeeID' -- Since @startRowIndex is zero-based in the data Web control, but one-based w/ROW_NUMBER(), increment SET @startRowIndex = @startRowIndex + 1 -- Issue query DECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000) SET @sql = 'SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, DepartmentID, Salary, HireDate, DepartmentName FROM (SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, e.DepartmentID, Salary, HireDate, d.Name as DepartmentName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ' + @sortExpression + ') as RowNum FROM Employees e INNER JOIN Departments d ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID WHERE e.DepartmentID = ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @DepartmentID) + ' ) as EmpInfo WHERE RowNum BETWEEN ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @startRowIndex) + ' AND (' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @startRowIndex) + ' + ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @maximumRows) + ') - 1' -- Execute the SQL query EXEC sp_executesql @sql ENDThe part that's bold is the part I don't understand. Can someone shed some light on this for me? What is this doing and why?Diane

I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).
What i want is to have access to BDHSE from an application in VB6 (APP1) running in PC2. All the INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE records process is done through APP1.
APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.
I have these questions:
1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.
2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?
3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.
Thanks in advance,

Does anyone know if there is a command in query analizer for sql server 2005 (Express) that changes the collation of all the char (varchar, nvarchar etc) in a table or in a database. And I don't mean to set the collation when creating a database, but to modify a database's collation seting.
