How To Change Collation Settings For All Databases
Apr 5, 2008
Dear All,
I am facing one problem when I am trying to create some stored procedures,
Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Procedure SG_GET_USER_SECTOR_POSITION, Line 11
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Arabic_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Procedure SG_GETRANKLIST, Line 4
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Arabic_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
I need to change these collation settings, please help me how to change them.
New SQL2000 installation into which I've copied data from multiple SQL7 installations. Some of the databases I've copied over from a SQL7 server with code page 850, sort order/collation 42, using the detach-copy mdf/ldf-attach procedure outlined elsewhere on this site (thank you). Other databases have been DTS'd from another SQL7 server with code page 850, sort order/collation 44.
In the end I want all databases to be in the default Latin1_General_CI_AI collation I've chosen for my installation.
I'm off to immerse myself in collation papers and alter database documentation from BOL, but was hoping someone could enlighten me in a less painful way.
I need to select collation settings to support chinese characters. As i came to know that i need to select 950 character set. But problem is that i am not able to find the option for chinese characters i.e, 950 character set in the collation settings of the setup. It will be helpful if anyone could suggest me if there is any other option to set while set up or in an existing sql server instance to support chinese character data.
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"...
I installed the samples and tutoriales on the same server as SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005 Team Suite. Living in Belgium, the local settings are: language = Duch (Belgium) code page = 850 e.g. in the database samples (AdventureWorks database €“ AdventureWorks Warehouse database) my date notation is: 26-12-2005 my number notation is: 1,0013016921998599
all demo samples and tutorials are developed using language = English (United States) code page 1252 e.g. in SampleCurrencyData.txt the date notation is: 12/26/2005 00:00:00 the number notation is: 1.0013016921998599
I do not have any problems to test the diferent services (Data Base Engine Services, Analysis Services, reporting & notifications services ..) but I do not succeed to deploy any samples of integration services !
e.g. for Integration Services Tutorial - lesson 1: €œCreating the Project and Basic Package€? there are no error messages, 1097 rows are processed but, checking the result in the database, no data is updated in the FactCurrencyRate table of the AdventureWorksDW database !
Why? - is the problem related to the local language settings? how to solve this? - what is the influence of the code page ? is there any compatibility between 1252 and 850 as code page? - Server collation (e.g. Latin_1_General_CI_AS) is reported as key for the Unicode notation for character strings but what about notation of numbers? - when to use float data type DT_R4 or DT_R8? - I have remarked that the DT_DBTimeStamp is undependent from the source time notation €“ Is this correct? - what is the difference between DT_Date and DT_DBDate or DT_DBTime, or DT_DBTimeStamp? - Is Integration Services dependant of the local settings of the database engine? - how to set / modify additional regional properties in a SSIS and SSRS package? - how to change the default setting of the Flat File Connection Manager [starting the wizard, the local setting for the language €“ Dutch appears and this is OK for me but as codepage appears 1252 (ANSI Latin) and this is not OK as my server code page = 850]? - how to work with e.g. US based data as source and Belgium settings for reports?
We ran into weird/interesting issue with below details.
Version:Â Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64)Â Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.
Using the Agentpress theme I have put together a client site that is fully functional, however the client has asked that the search query is altered slightly and i'm having trouble working out how to do it.Basically they want the search facility provide the following options:
1. Bedrooms searched for as 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4 or more.
2. Property availability to provide just 2 options - Available and Include Let Properties.
how to change the search settings to return this information.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server machine using SQL security instead of integrgated security. However, the server was setup initially to use only integrated security. When I right click on the server and select properties, I get this error:
Error 0: Cannot load the DLL xpstar.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: 5(Access is denied.).
I googled this error but could not find a single solution. The dll will not register with regsvr32. Do I need to repair SQL Server and then re-run the latest service pack, or is there a simple solution?
I'm currently working with a SQLServer instance that uses a case insensitive collation. In this instance we have a number of user databases that are created without COLLATE and hence 'inherits' the same collation as the SQL Server is installed with.
I have searched the forum and understand that I need to rebuild the master db in order to change the 'default' collation. However, I do not need to change the collation on the user databases that exist. I would just like to make sure that all new databases are created using the new collation. Can I rebuild the master database without loosing my existing user databases? And if so, will they run OK using case insensitive collation, if the master is using case sensitive?
I created a new server registration under my SQL Server Group. After creating the registration via EM, I looked under properties and the collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_CI_AS. It needs to be Latin1_General_BIN because this is the collation order in the production server. Please bear in mind that I am not a DBA and this is all new to me, but unfortunately I'm the one who has to fix this. Please keep the terms simple in any response. Thanks.
Is there a way (besides "ALTER DATABASE COLLATE ...") to change collation name for the whole database? I tried to use the "ALTER DATABASE" command, but it didn't work. And I wouldn't like to run "ALTER COLUMN" commands for over 100 tables.
Problem is, the database collation is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and some fields of some tables have the collation "Latin1_General_CI_AS". You know the Problem ... ;-)
As I don't want to change the columns one by one, I want to ask how can I change collation of all column in a table by 1 Transact SQL? Or how can I change the collation of all the tables?
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Hebrew_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
How can I change these tables to have the saem collation? I did not purposely make it different.
I'm using SQl Server 2005 and I need to know how can I change all table's column collation to the database default....It's too $%¨& to enter table by table and check if it's with other collate and then change...
The title says it all. I've used ALTER DATABASE, and ALTER TABLE...ALTER COLUMN to change all my character fields from 'Compatibility_42_409_30003' to the default I want ('Latin1_General_CI_AI') on databases converted from SQL7. Now I just have these ntext fields to change...
There have been several threads about changing a database's collation but none have come up with an easy answer before. The suggestion before was to create an empty database with the correct collation and then copy the data across. However this is hard work as you have to populate tables in a specific order in order not to violate foreign keys etc. You can't just dts the whole data.
There follows scripts we have written to do the job. If people use them, please could you add to this thread whether they worked successfully or not.
Firstly we change the default collation, then change all the types in the database to match the new collation.
=================== --script to change database collation - James Agnini -- --Replace <DATABASE> with the database name --Replace <COLLATION> with the collation, eg SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS -- --After running this script, run the script to rebuild all indexes
ALTER DATABASE <DATABASE> COLLATE <COLLATION>
exec sp_configure 'allow updates',1 go reconfigure with override go update syscolumns set collationid = (select top 1 collationid from systypes where systypes.xtype=syscolumns.xtype) where collationid <> (select top 1 collationid from systypes where systypes.xtype=syscolumns.xtype) go exec sp_configure 'allow updates',0 go reconfigure with override go ===================
As we have directly edited system tables, we need to run a script to rebuild all the indexes. Otherwise you will get strange results like comparing strings in different table not working. The indexes have to actually be dropped and recreated in separate statements. You can't use DBCC DBREINDEX or create index with the DROP_EXISTING option as they won't do anything(thanks to SQL Server "optimization"). This script loops through the tables and then loops through the indexes and unique constraints in separate sections. It gets the index information and drops and re-creates it. (The script could probably be tidied up with the duplicate code put into a stored procedure).

HiWhen we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with adifferent collation name in order to be able to accept the character setwe use, Hebrew.We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from ourmain system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Althoughthe DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew letters when I copy data with OSQLit comes over as jibberish.After looking into the matter I came to the conclusion that while DTSrefers to specific databases and uses the destination database'scollation name , OSQL refers to the remote server and destination serverand therefore uses the collation name of the server and not of thedatabase. In order for it to successfully copy the Hebrew I need tochange the default collation name of the installation.Is "rebuild master" the way to do such a thing ? (this is a productionserver so we are wary of doing a "rebuild master")Has anyone else run into similar problems when transfering data betweenservers using OSQL ?ThanksDavid Greenberg
Hi,If I have a database with collation Sequence X and I change thecollation sequence of database to Collation Sequence Y , do I have tomigrate the data of tables with collation Sequence X to collationSequence Y or SQl server takes care of migrating the data internally.Thanks in advance.-Kalyan
The default collation for SSISDB is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. I had a question from a client today who asked if its possible to change it to French_CI_AS as they have issues with importing data from flat files using SSIS package. The issue they are facing is with different french characters and also numeric values with a scale... All their "user" databases are French_CI_AS as is the Instance collation.I'm guessing its not supported to change the collation of SSISDB as when i attempted on a "test" instance i get.

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).

Hi We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
