Collations

  • What is the difference between these two below collation settings?

    Latin1_General_CI_AS

    'Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kanatype-insensitive, width-insensitive',

    SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 

    'Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kanatype-insensitive, width-insensitive for Unicode Data, SQL Server Sort Order 52 on Code Page 1252 for non-Unicode Data')

  • the SQL-prefixed ones are collations used by sql2k.

    Aparently MS did some optimisations for unicode handling with the new collations.

    - Only performance factor i read about is for the new BIN2 collations, which should be slightly faster to compare.

    Because we rarely use unicode datatypes, and to ease the upgrade process, we decided not to migrate to then new collation set.
