Change Database Collation

Asked by craigbtg in SQL Server 2005

Tags: Microsoft, SQL Server, 2005

Hello, I have a database that I incorrectly configured using a collation of SQL_LATIN_GENERAL1_CS_AS.  Can someone please tell me how to change the collation to SQL_LATIN_GENERAL1_CI_AS?  I need the change applied to all tables.

I see in the database properties, under Options, there is a selection to change it, but when I try it says the database cannot be used exclusively.  I tried bringing it offline and then I couldn't get to the properties.

Also, the database is about 2 GB in size.  Will it take a while to change it over?  Thanks.Start Free Trial
