Collation settings

  • Hi all,

    Today i found that my reporting database and reporting tempdb are in different collation rom the normal databases. Can databases in a instance be in different collations .

  • Yes.

  • If two databases in a instance are in different collation . Can we implement replication in between them and any other tasks related to those databases.

  • Replication between two databases on the same instance? Not sure why you'd want to do that, but collation doesn't prevent that, or any other SQL feature from working.

    You can have 2 tables in the same DB with different collations. Hell, you can have 2 columns in the same table with different collations.
