<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Greetings!<br />
<br />
I have several SQL databases on my system. &nbsp;At the database level, the collation for all of them is set to LATIN1_GENERAL_BIN. &nbsp;On some of them, the collation of some columns is set to LATIN1_GENERAL_100_BIN.<br />
<br />
Practically speaking, does this matter? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
For example, I will need to combine the data in 2 of these tables that have different column level collations by adding records that only exist in Table1 to Table2. &nbsp;I did a small test and I was able to add records.<br />
<br />
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
