Changing Server Collation

  • Is there a way to change the collation code at the Server Level for SQL 2005?

    We have just installed SQL 2005 SE on a test box and it has been setup with the wrong collation code.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards

  • You can find the details for changing collations in SQL Server Books Online:

    ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/25b8a3da-a83b-411f-9bb9-ca684306b4d7.htm

    or you can access Books Online from MSDN:

    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177439(SQL.90).aspx

  • The databases can now be configured with seperate collation settings independantly of the server.

    ALTER DATABASE database_name COLLATE collation_name

    COLLATE collation_name

    Specifies the collation for the database. collation_name can be either a Windows collation name or a SQL collation name. If not specified, the database is assigned the collation of the instance of SQL Server.
