We are using linked server. When running the query I am getting this message: Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20544392/how-to-get-rid-of-collation-conflict-for-sql-server-view "Arabic_CI_AS" in the equal to operation. I don't know much about collation. Searching through internet I find solutions to use COLLATE, but the concept of COLLATE is not clear to me. Will it change anything for any of the databases? I am looking for a solution without changing anything for the databases. Any good learning material for these concepts is welcome. sql-server view collation multiple-databases share|improve this question edited Dec 12 '13 at 14:26 NGLN 32.8k562125 asked Dec 12 '13 at 13:05 elmo 1401211 can you show the SQL code you're working on ? –Eldar Zeynalov Dec 12 '13 at 13:14 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 18 down vote accepted You can resolve the issue by forcing the collation used in a query to be a particular collation, e.g. SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS or DATABASE_DEFAULT. For example: SELECT MyColumn FROM FirstTable a INNER JOIN SecondTable b ON a.MyID COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS = b.YourID COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS In the above query, a.MyID and b.YourID would be columns with a text-based data type. Using COLLATE will force the query to ignore the default collation o
resolve the collation conflict ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ David Musgrave9 December 20119 0 0 0 Today I have a post on the solution to a tricky SQL issue. When https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2011/12/09/sql-server-error-cannot-resolve-the-collation-conflict/ working with SQL Server and creating a join that links tables in http://www.sqlcoffee.com/troubleshooting075.htm two databases, all goes well when the two databases have the same collation. However,if the databases have different collations the query it will fail in a writhing blubbery gelatinous slimy mess of confused character mappings, or at leastreturn something similar to the following error: Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line cannot resolve 4Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation. This is because SQL Server cannot compare character or text fields across differentcollations. This issue affectsthe char, varchar, text, nchar, nvarchar, and ntext data types. I came across this issue yesterday on my system as I was writing some code that used the sp_MSforeachdb command (see related post: Running SQL cannot resolve the commands against all GP Company Databases). I had a chat with my friend and resident SQL guru, Robert Cavill, and he helped come up with the solution. It turns out that the ReportServer$SQL2008R2 and ReportServer$SQL2008R2TempDB databases created on my SQL Server 2008 R2 instance have a different collation to the system default and the rest of the databases. If you run the following SQL commands you can see the collation information for the system and the databases: exec sp_helpsortexec sp_helpdb Note:Forthedatabase collation, look in thestatus columnfor the Collation property. An easier method could be to retrieve the collation property directly with the following commands: print convert(varchar(max),SERVERPROPERTY(‘Collation'))print convert(varchar(max),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(‘ReportServer$SQL2008R2', ‘Collation'))print convert(varchar(max),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(‘DYNAMICS', ‘Collation'))print convert(varchar(max),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(‘TWO', ‘Collation')) On my system, this returned the results below, which shows the report server database has a different collation: Latin1_General_CI_ASLatin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WSLatin1_General_CI_ASLatin1_General_CI_AS So if I create a query that joins between the Report Server and DYNAMICS databases it will fail with the error message above, for example: select R.UserName from ReportServer$SQL2008R2.dbo.Users Rjoin DYNAMICS.dbo.SY01400 U on U.USERNAME = R.UserName The solution is to use the COLLATE command to cast the collation of a character or text field into a specified collation

(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc) Additional information: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the UNION operation. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:468) Additionally, when we tried to run a query joining two tables, one table that belongs to the database created by the software vendor and the other a temporary table, both tables joined by a common column of varchar(10) data type, then we received the following error from SSMS: (1 row(s) affected) Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 4 Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation. Cause. We configured the SQL Server instance with the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS because it is the standard in our organization, and that means all system databases on the server have that collation (including TempDB), but the software vendor created the new database with a different collation, collation Latin1_General_CI_AS. The conflict is originated by the difference in collation between the instance and the vendor database. Solution. If possible change the database collation. In our case, was not possible because the vendor does not support SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation. The following link gives instructions on how to change the database collation. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175835.aspx To change the server collation, you either have to reinstall SQL Server or rebuild system databases. We reinstalled Microsoft SQL Server and set the server collation to the collation specified by the software vendor. For more information
