I need to migrate an application from SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. I know
that they use different collations, and this causes problems when
7.0 applications are moved to 2000. I would like to find a
permanent fix (so I'm not happy with using "COLLATE" in future
stored procedures) and I'd like to keep the default 2000 collation
(Latin1_General _CI_AS) in order to avoid problems if the
application needs to be moved to another 2000 server in the future.
So the only option is to change the collation of the restored DB.
What is the most efficient way of doing this?
Thanks,
Marco

ALTER DATABASE can change a database's collation, and ALTER TABLE can change
a single column's collation. I seem to remember changing the database's
collation once and discovering that it didn't change the collation of
existing tables, only new ones, so make sure you test properly first.

You will need to bulk out the data, build the database from scripts
and reload data.
But I would only do this if this agrees with business requirements. If
you don't have an SQL 2000 installation, you can install with the
collation of your preference. If there already is an SQL 2000 instance
on the box with a different collation, one option is to install a
second instance on the box.

Hi,
If I have a database with collation Sequence X and I change the
collation sequence of database to Collation Sequence Y , do I have to
migrate the data of tables with collation Sequence X to collation
Sequence Y or SQl server takes care of migrating the data internally.
Thanks in advance.

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 collation
as I will be restoring databases with this collation.
What should I choose from the 'Collation designator' and 'SQL
Collations' box.
Is it 'Dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with 1252
characters'?

On restore of the databases (master, model, msdb, appln) from the backup

Hi
When we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name
(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).
The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with a
different collation name in order to be able to accept the character set
we use, Hebrew.
We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from our
main system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Although
the DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew...

Hello,
I have a problem. I've linked MySql server to MsSql, in MySql I have a
table with Latvian data(character set is ucs2, ucs2_general_ci) and
the problem is that when I use openquery to read data from MySQL
server, some characters are not translated correctly! I receive
question symbols instead of Latvian special characters.
Maybe someone had this kind of problem with collation?

A few collation questions on SQL Server 2005 SP2, which I'll call SQLS.
The default collation for SQLS is apparently SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
I wish to use a variation of this, SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AI
collation, but there is no such collation returned from
fn_helpcollations(). Also, if I try to use this collation in
a CREATE DATABASE stmt, SQLS yells about it.
I see that there is a Latin1_General_CS_AI. What effects are...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
