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?
