SQL Server 2008 RC Server-Level Collation change

  • Hi, I have a issue here

    I install SQL Server instance collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and this is production server NOW.

    OS: Windows 2008

    DB: SQL Server 2008 RC

    There is 4 database all of them in production now, i need to change collation on SERVER-LEVEL not DB Level.

    Change collation in server level from SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS to Latin1_General_CI_AS.

    What is different between SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS to Latin1_General_CI_AS ?

    Any help in details will be great.

    thnx

  • The two collations are very similar:

    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

    To change collation at server level, you have to run SQL Server setup:

    Hope this helps
