I just installed Sql Server 2019. Unfortunately I didn't notice the collation while installing. Following are the collations:
SELECT name, collation_name
FROM sys.databases
name
collation_name
master
Latin1_General_CI_AS
tempdb
Latin1_General_CI_AS
model
Latin1_General_CI_AS
msdb
Latin1_General_CI_AS
ReportServer
Latin1_General_100_CI_AS_KS_WS
ReportServerTempDB
Latin1_General_100_CI_AS_KS_WS
ApplicationDB
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
use ApplicationDB
GO
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(N'Collation')
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
The application recommends that the database to be SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, but they're unsure about the system databases as they're not database experts. Will there be any consequences. We would be running SSRS reports to pull data from the application database. Will this be an issue? I'm confused

I have SQL Server 2014 Express edition installed on a Portuguese Windows 10 computer. I have a database that was created on an US computer. I have changed the collation of the database in SSMS. I examine tables, stored procedures, etc and they all have the default collation of SQL Server (Latin1_General_CI_CA).
When I try to execute a stored procedure in the database, SQL Server barfs up a collation mismatch between Latin1_General_CI_AS and SQL_Latin1_CP1_CI_AS. I have checked everything that I know of and the collation matches.
Really hoping to avoid rewriting all my stored procedures to set the default collation.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
When I installed SQL Server initially, my computer region was set to ENGLISH (UNITED STATES). I think this made the default collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. The production server and my colleague's SQL Server setups have Latin1_General_CI_AS.
I changed my region to match theirs as ENGLISH (Australia) and I uninstalled SQL Server 2008 and deleted the databases. I then reinstalled, but it's still SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS for collation.
I've now reinstalled several times, and I can't have my default collation set to Latin1_General_CI_AS.
Does anyone know how to change this? Where when installing does it let you choose your collation?
setup.exe /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /QUIET /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"
/SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_CI_AS
I'm going to use SQL Server 2014 in memory table with a database which has Arabic_CI_AS collation but when I create in memory table is says oltp does not support this collation.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
I am trying to insert hebrew strings into a SQL Server database using visual studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 with connection string but in the database table I get ????? instead of the original string. Just to mentions that it doesn't happen in the past. What could be the problem?
You have to change database collation.
Run the following script :
USE master;
GO
ALTER DATABASE YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
COLLATE Hebrew_CI_AS ;
GO
I've been working on SQL server 2005 for a few years and i'd never come across collation issues. However i installed SQL 2008 on a virtual machine and tried to sync my 2005 database with the new 2008 server using Redgate SQL compare. It failed complaing about the collation on the 2 servers being different.
After a quick bit of research i discovered my 2005 is using Latin1_General_CI_AS and the new 2008 installation is using SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
Why is 2008 using something different to 2005? Both times i've just done a default install. Secondly what should i do to get them the same, which collation is the correct one?
I do not know what criteria is used for the MS SQL Server installer to select default collation.
Collation of a server does not have to be the same as the collation of a database on that server. Collation of a database does not have to be the same as the collation of table columns in the database.
You can set the collation of the database when you create one. Default it will get the same collation as the server.
Here is a post about how you can change the collation of a database including changing the collation of columns.
Changing SQL Server Database sorting
with a reference to here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325335.
Here is a starting point if you need to change the default collation of a server
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179254.aspx.
I do not know what is necessary for Redgate SQL Compare, but I guess it only needs the database collation to be the same. So if you are replicating a db to a new server you probably only need to create the new db with the same collation as the one you already have and leave the default collation of the server as is.
