Getting Starting with Change Data Capture (CDC) in SQL Server – Part 1
Starting with SQL Server 2008, two different in-built mechanisms identify DML changes at the source table so that only changed data sets can be considered for data pulled from the source table to load into the data warehouse. These two in-built mechanisms are Change Data Capture (CDC) and Change Tracking (CT).

Question of the Day
Specifying the Collation
I am dealing with issues on my SQL Server 2022 instance related to collation. I have an instance collation of Latin1_General_CS_AS_KS_WS, but a database collation of Latin1_General_CI_AS. I want to force a few queries to run with a specified collation by using code like this:
DECLARE @c VARCHAR(20) = 'Latin1_General_CI_AS'
SELECT p.PersonType,
p.Title,
p.LastName,
c.CustomerID,
c.AccountNumber
FROM Person.Person AS p
INNER JOIN Sales.Customer AS c
ON c.PersonID = p.BusinessEntityID
COLLATE @c
Will this solve my problem? See possible answers
