confused character mappings, or at leastreturn something similar to the following error: Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 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, sql server mssqlserver missing 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 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_A

As I always say, Error messages are a great way to learn concepts and we become better if we mssql sql server authentication not working understand the reason behind every error one gets. As I scan through almost every single mail that comes in, some of them catch my attention and I tend to write this https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2011/12/09/sql-server-error-cannot-resolve-the-collation-conflict/ experience back as a blog post.Last week, one fresher who was working for an European client wrote back to me with an error mentioned below:Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 15 Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "French_CS_AI" in the equal to operation.Though the error looked simple and self-explanatory, this kid wanted to mimic this error in his environment. He http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2015/07/20/sql-server-fix-error-msg-468-level-16-state-9-line-1/ also added that he was using temp tables while this error surfaced. This statement got me interested and I wanted to show him with a simple script to how this error can be achieved.Let me start by knowing the server collation to start with:-- Server Collation
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Collation') ---------------------------------------------SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASAs you can see, I am using the default collation on my server at this moment. Now let us create an DB with a different collation (French) for example. We will also create two tables post that. First will be a normal table while the second one will be an Temp table.-- Create database with different collation
CREATE DATABASE [DB_Not_Contained] CONTAINMENT = NONE
COLLATE French_CS_AI
GO
-- Create 2 tables with 1 being a temp table so it goes to tempdb and uses the server collation and not the database collation
USE [DB_Not_Contained] GO
CREATE TABLE [DemoCollation] (
Server Management Studio: Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc) Additional information: An exception occurred while http://www.sqlcoffee.com/troubleshooting075.htm executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) Cannot resolve the collation http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1607560/cannot-resolve-the-collation-conflict-between-sql-latin1-general-cp1-ci-as-and 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 sql server 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 sql server mssqlserver 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, please see the following article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179254.aspx To allow specific queries to run despite the difference on collations, you need to modify those queries and include the COLLATE or COLLATE database_default clause when comparing string columns with different collations.

You can check what collations each column in your table(s) has by using this query: SELECT col.name, col.collation_name FROM sys.columns col WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('YourTableName') Collations are needed and used when ordering and comparing strings. It's generally a good idea to have a single, unique colla
