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 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.
I'm making ConfigurationFile.ini for auto installation.
But as you know, SQL Server 2016 installation has splitted SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio)
So, ConfigurationFile.ini cannot include SSMS installation
How can I included SSMS to whole auto installation procedure?
Nope, this cannot be done. But with SSMS itself, you can use /quite switch to perform a quite install. For example:
SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe /install /quite
i wanted you to give me a hand so i can fix this, i have tried everything already
Example
going to VS 2010 > tools > data connections > leave it blank and type SQLEXPRESS
also tried to change the machine.config
however it is not working yet

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.

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.
Which are the reliable registry entries to see install versions of SQL Server? Like if I have 2005 and 2008 both installed on my machine, how can I check this in registry? Also how to check which is the default one?
