View 3 RepliesHello,
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,

Hi!
I have a database in SQL Server 2005 Express edition in standard collation. And now I need to store data including letter "è" (I'm from Slovenia). Can please someone tell me how to change the collation in server and database, please?
Thanks in advanced,

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!

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
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,
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
Hi.
I don't know how to change the collation in SQL Server 2000, my collation is Modern_Spanish_CI_AS, if somedoby knows the procedure to change the collation I would be thankful.
Thank you again and best regards.

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?
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.
Hi,I'm installing SQL2000 on a new cluster server.I selected a 'custom installation' and was presented with a'Collation settings' screen.I need it to be SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collationas I will be restoring databases with this collation.What should I choose from the 'Collation designator' and 'SQLCollations' box.Is it 'Dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with 1252characters'?What will be the default? Will it be the same default as for the'typical' installation?Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?
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?
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

After reading Erland Sommarskog's most enlightening articles on SQL Server2000's error handling capabilities(http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-I.html andhttp://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-II.html) I have a question regardingbatch cancellation caused by a client.Because a batch cancel request from a client does not cause a rollback, isthere any danger of the commands that were executed in the batch before theclient cancelled to be persistent in the database since no commit is evercalled? Or is the real problem indefinite locking that only disappears whenthe client connection is terminated?Any insights are appreciated!Regards,Tyler

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi:
I have a website and related database in English version, now I am trying to start with other language, such as Chinese.
The first problem I am facing is: search a user name when user name is Chinese:
For example: English version: SELECT u_name FROM Users WHERE u_name = 'eric', it will return a value, but if I type: SELECT u_name FROM Users WHERE u_name = '艾瑞克', even if the table cell has the 艾瑞克 record, it won't return anything.
Search online, there are a lot of articles, since I am pretty new for this, can you let me know where to start? How to change the collation for the existing db, do I need to create stored procedure for the search?
I would like to solve this problem start from my MSsql 2005 database. If that works fine, then I will go to my web application.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I am just trying to understand about how collation and unicode work in SQL Server. My database's collation is Latin1_General, and I set one column in one table to have collation Cyrillic_General.
Then in Windows PC where I am running an application that is connected to my database, I set Mongolian Language from Regional Settings. When I typed using Mongolian Keyboards and save the characters into database, then I can retrieve the cyrillic characters back into my application.
However, when I checked into database using Query Analyzer, those characters are saved in the column, that has collation Cyrillic_General and with nchar data type, apparently using codepage 1252, my database default codepage. My application and my database server are located in two different machines and I don't install Mongolian language in my database server. So that when other web application reads those characters from that column, even my browser has been set to use Cyrillic encoding, still it showed as characters from codepage 1252.
Could someone explain me what actually happens here?
Thanks very much before.

Hello AllI'm a bit confused about collation settings so needed some info. onit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I have SQL Server 2005 database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation, and there is a little problem when inserting Cyrillic text. It works fine when I use SQL Server Management Studio to open specific table and insert new row manually. Problem appears when I use SQL queries. For example: INSERT INTO Customer (ID, Name) VALUES (1, "Владимир"). ID is type of int, and Name is nvarchar.When I execute the query, value of ID is OK (it is 1), but insted of "Владимир" the value of Name is "????????" (only question marks).I am not sure now, if I should change database collation(and what to put), or I should change column type of "Name" column.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhich collation format should I use?
SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS, SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS
I noticed that my development server has a different collation setting to the production server.
development. SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASproduction. Latin1_General_CI_AS
Both these servers are SQL Server 2005 Express and I typically use varchar or text fields for storing the data.
I've been told that the difference between them is that the former uses code page 1252, as specified here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.mspx
However when I compare that to, say, the page of symbols one gets using the 'Insert, Symbol' command via microsoft word I find quite a disagreement. It also differs from the 'View, Clip Library' list provided by TextPad.
The data in my database uses non-ASCII characters (or extended ASCII, if you prefer). The administrators of my CMS will sometimes copy and paste or write European spellings for company names etc. When they do that they're likely to resort to Word's Insert Symbol command. When I get this data and show it on a web page I want to specify utf-8 endcoding.
Which of these SQL server collations should I be using. I suspect that I should be using SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS. Essentially, I want the charater as seen in the textbox of the CMS to look identical to that displayed on a web page which has the following meta tag set: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
The aforementioned CMS administrators are entering data on Windows XP PCs running asp.net. They may get the accented characters from several different sources (MS Word Insert Symbol or cut and paste from a web page), but they can agree with me that the symbol should display in the text box of the CMS identically to that on the web site.
Can someone put me right on this?
what's the difference between SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and Latin1_General_CI_AI What the SQL and CP1 mean in SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS?and which one should i use?
