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).
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

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?
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.
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).

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.
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 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,
Dear Members.. I am facing a problem with SQL server 2005 Secc. I have a Server with server collation Arabic_CI_AS. And i have a databse in it which has a collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS.

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_AIcollation, but there is no such collation returned fromfn_helpcollations(). Also, if I try to use this collation ina CREATE DATABASE stmt, SQLS yells about it.I see that there is a Latin1_General_CS_AI. What effects are therein using this collation? The SQL_* collations are SQL collations,while non-SQL_* collations are Windows collations, yes? SQLS runsonly on Windows, so am I safe in using Latin1_General_CS_AI? Whatdoes the CP1 in the SQL collation signify? Am I asking for trouble?------------------------------------Assuming that I set Latin1_General_CS_AI (or any other case-sensitivecollation) at the database level, I believe my DDL/DML for that databasealso becomes case-sensitive. How can I specify that I want ONLY my dataaccess to be case-sensitive, and not my DDL/DML? I don't want to haveto remember to type "select * from MyCamelCase" when "mycamelcase"should work.Any help appreciated.A new SQLS DBA..aj
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.
