Hmmm….Thanks for the reply. Thats what I’ll do.

As of existing SQL Server installations….will start changing the collation of temp tables.

Thanks, God Bless n have smiling roads ahead

That’s all that comes to mind apart form changing the server collation itself which won’t be fun – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179254.aspx

It helps having a standard build document explicitly stating the collation.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Thats a prospective solution but its a really a long n time consuming process since i gotta find the temp table usage in my 1000+ procedures & replace them.

I was just wondering if there can be better solution.

I have currently changed the collation of the database itself and told my collagues to check up on the Collation options the next time they install SQL Server on a system.

Thanks for the quick reply.

God Bless and have smiling roads ahead.

You can specify the collation when you create the temp table link.

My problem is a bit related to the one mentioned. I use a temporary table in SQL to get some complex table. Then finally to show the output I query this temp table and some other tables in my database.

The problem for me is that my temp table is taking, by default, the collation of the SQL Server which has a collation different from that of my database.

How can i solve this…since i have used many temp tables in my database and all of them shout error in unison when such collation issues occur
