RE: Install SQL Server 2000 with different COLLATION

Matt,

When you upgrade an existing SQL 7.0 instance, the new SQL 2K instance
always inherits the 7.0 instance's collation. If you want to install SQL
2000 with a different collation, you have to install a new instance (or
uninstall the 7.0 default instance and install a new SQL 2K default
instance). To install with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, choose
an Advanced install, then select "SQL Collations" and "Dictionary order,
Case insensitive, Accent sensitive for use with Code Page 1252". You can
attach your existing 7.0 databases to the new SQL 2K instance, but the
attached database will retain their original collation from the 7.0
instance.

| Dear Matt,
|
| Please refer to the following article to upgrade SQL Server 7.0 to SQL
| Server 2000:
|
| How to upgrade a SQL Server 7.0 installation to SQL Server 2000 (Setup)
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/howtosql/ht
| _install_5vsj.asp
|
| An upgrade of SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Server 2000 keeps the previous SQL
| collation settings; no collation choice is required. You can refer to
the
| following article:
|
| Using SQL Collations
|
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/instsql/in_
| collation_8f8w.asp
|
| After installation, you can change Collation Settings. Microsoft SQL
| Server 2000 collations can be specified at several levels, please refer
to
| the following article:
|
| Specifying Collations
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/architec/8_
| ar_da_3zw3.asp
|
| Collation settings, which include character set, sort order, and other
| locale-specific settings, are fundamental to the structure of all
| Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases. To change one or more of these
| settings, you must rebuild the master and user databases.
|
| Please refer to the following articles:
|
| Changing Collation Settings After Installing
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/instsql/in_
| collation_19ym.asp
|
| How to rebuild the master database (Rebuild Master utility)
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/howtosql/ht
| _install_8w8p.asp
|
| However, if you run rebuildm utility to change collation of an instance,
| much information in master may lose. Therefore, please make sure you have
| back up the database files of each database if you want to try this.
|
| I hope this helpful.

Hi there,

I have a windows 2000 box with SQL 7.0 installed. When I install SQL 2000,
it sets the COLLATION to the default Collation of SQL 7.0, however I need
this set to the collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

How can I set the collation when installing?

thanks - matt
