Collation Problem

  • Hi everyone, I have to deal with this hideous problem again, I have a server that uses SQL Server 7.0 and works with "Binary sort order for the iso 8859-1 (Latin 1) character set" and a Locale ID=33280. Now I am almost sure that its equivalent in sql server 2005 is Latin1_General_BIN because of the compatibility and what Sql Server 7.0 collation means. I wander around in the web and found these two microsoft webs to kinda reasure my thoughts.

    Please any help or coments are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • I want to confirm that the collation Latin1_General_BIN is the equivalent for sql server 7.0 collation "binary sort order for the iso 8859-1 (Latin 1) character set". Or which would be the equivalent for it?

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Why don't you restore it on test server and change the database collation under 2005 and test the functionality if you are not getting 100 correct answers.

  • yeah that's what I've done and it works, but I wanted to know if anyone knew for sure that Latin1_General_BIN was the equivalent for the one in sql server 7.0.

    Thank you very much for your replies.
