Collation conflict SQL Server 2008
I've been going around this but I haven't found a solution for my problem. My sql query is:
SELECT
dbo.Country.CtyRecID, dbo.Country.CtyShort, dbo.Notification.NotRecID,
dbo.Notification.NotName, dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCode,
dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCodeRecID,
dbo.TaxPhylum.PhyName AS Taxon, dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsNotes,
dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsRecID,
dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsKgmRecID,
CASE dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsKgmRecID WHEN 1 THEN 'Animals'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Plants' ELSE 'All' END AS Kingdom
FROM
dbo.TemporalSuspension
INNER JOIN dbo.Notification
ON dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsStartNotRecID = dbo.Notifi开发者_JAVA技巧cation.NotRecID
INNER JOIN dbo.Country
ON dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCtyRecID = dbo.Country.CtyRecID
INNER JOIN dbo.TaxPhylum
ON dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCodeRecID = dbo.TaxPhylum.PhyRecID
AND dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCode LIKE 'PHY'
UNION ALL
SELECT
dbo.Country.CtyRecID, dbo.Country.CtyShort, dbo.Notification.NotRecID,
dbo.Notification.NotName, dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCode,
dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCodeRecID,
dbo.TaxClass.ClaName AS Taxon, dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsNotes,
dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsRecID,
dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsKgmRecID,
CASE dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsKgmRecID WHEN 1 THEN 'Animals'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Plants' ELSE 'All' END AS Kingdom
FROM
dbo.TemporalSuspension
INNER JOIN dbo.Notification
ON dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsStartNotRecID = dbo.Notification.NotRecID
INNER JOIN dbo.Country
ON dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCtyRecID = dbo.Country.CtyRecID
INNER JOIN dbo.TaxClass
ON dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCodeRecID = dbo.TaxClass.ClaRecID
AND dbo.TemporalSuspension.TCtsCode LIKE 'CLA'
But I don't understand why it doesn't work, I keep getting this error :
Cannot resolve collation conflict for column 7 in SELECT statement.
What's wrong? I've used this other times and I never got this problem. According to the error the dbo.TaxPhylum.PhyName AS Taxon, and dbo.TaxClass.ClaName AS Taxon, is the thing giving the problem, but I don't really understand why, both columns have the same type and everything.
EDIT: This is the result obtained with the query, how do I get around this?
Column Name Table Name collation_name
PhyName vDecisionsExpanded Latin1_General_CI_AS
ClaName vDecisionsExpanded SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
thanks
Try this query in your database:
SELECT
col.name 'Column Name',
OBJECT_NAME(object_id) 'Table Name',
col.collation_name
FROM sys.columns col
WHERE col.system_type_id IN (35, 99, 167, 175, 231, 239) -- TEXT, NTEXT, VARCHAR etc.
It will show you all string-related columns in your database, and their collation.
The error message says that column 7 is the culprit - that would be dbo.TaxPhylum.PhyName
- so also check the TaxPhylum
database. Is the collation in that database different from your normal database??
UPDATE: if you have a collation conflict, you can do two things:
1) if it's only a single or a few columns in a SELECT, just add the COLLATE .....
modifier to them:
SELECT
.....
dbo.TaxPhylum.PhyName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS AS Taxon,
.....
2) if it's a lot of columns, you might want to consider to modify the COLLATION on those columns / tables or in that database all together
- How to change database or server collation
Different server/database combination? At the risk of asking the obvious, I assume that you have verified your columns collation sequences?
