Collation, Unicode & Joins

    Question is good, but why would someone use a join with different collations?

    Simply to test ones knowledge of string comparison in a fun question, nothing more.

    😎 then. Thanks again.

  • Sean Pearce (7/23/2014)Some Documentation

    Yes very good.

    Now, how about some actual documentation (from Microsoft), rather than some forum and blog posts that don't actually address the question but just assume the answer?

    Good question (but a pity about the unwanted editing).

    I'm just having some fun, don't get cross.

    I don't think it is documented at all, but is generally well known.

  • Most interesting question - thanks, Sean!

    I am just a bit skeptical that 58 percent of people got this right without running it...

    😀 Definitely I am not one of them; even though I had my assumptions right without proper basement, I still executed the code to make sure what this is going to do, and later I became more interested in actual-EP.
