collation mismatch after upgrading DB to SQL2K

  • I upgraded my database from 7 to 2000 last week by restoring the dump taken from SQL7 database. The new installation has Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS as collation.

    But the one I restored has SQL_SwedishStd_Pref_CP1_CI_AS.

    In some stored procedure I create a temp table in TEMPDB and do join against some tables in this database. Then I naturally get an error 446."Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation"

    What is the best way to work around?

    I personally think it is best to alter the collation of the database. But it seems to take a long time. My database is 400GB.

    Any suggestion is very welcomed.

  • In this http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/glarsen/collate_part1.asp I described how to work with different collating sequences.
