Changing collation when installing SQL2000

[polinaskulski]

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'?

What will be the default? Will it be the same default as for the
'typical' installation?
Thanks

I would guess that is be the one, although the description also fits into
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI.

When you install Window collations, there are check-boxes for the
sensitivity stuff, but there might not be for SQL collations. (I
never install these.)
What will be the default? Will it be the same default as for the

I believe that SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS is the default is your
regional settings is English (USA).
