Question

SQL Server 2005 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation Latin1_General_CI_AS

Asked by: craigdev

I have a SQL 2000 DB with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, I am attempting to upgrade and host this in SQL 2005 Enterprise x64 bit.

When I run the installer for SQL Server 2005 I get server collation option to install as Latin1 (which installs as Latin1_General_CI_AS) or using SQL collations to support older SQL Server versions. I have tried a few options but which SQL collation description equates to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

I need the db and server collations in the new environment to match because if I do a default install my stored procs etc fail due to collation compare issues. How do I best set this up?

Thanks

Hi

If my memory serves me correctly you get the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation automatically if the Windows environment is set to English (US). This can be changed for the install and then back again after. Not sure which option it is in the SQL Collation list - it'll be in the SQL Books Online which I don't have access to at this point.

Found it....

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS matches the SQL Server version 7.0 default specification of:

    * The ISO code page 1252.
    * The dictionary order, case-insensitive character sort order.
    * The General Unicode collation.

Note  The Setup program does not set the instance default collation to the Windows collation Latin1_General_CI_AS if the computer is using the U.S. English locale. Instead, it sets the instance default collation to the SQL collation SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AS. This may change in a future release.

Yes, I should have been clearer. When the Windows region is set to US the SQL install defaults to the SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AS collation. If you can restart the server then this isn't a big thing to temporarily change. If you can't then the SQL collation settings listed above should also do the trick.

hi all, earlier my sql faced msdb(suspect) by recovery. so, i copied msdb*.mdf and msdb*.ldf from a colleague. so, my msdb is now back to normal status. however, when i tried to access to my database's properties, i hit and error as below:

"cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AI " and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.(Microsoft SQL Server, Error:468)"

Any advice how to resolve this?
