Cannot resolve the collation conflict between “SQL_AltDiction_CP850_CI_AS” and “SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS” in the equal to operation

Question

I have a piece of code in my stored procedure as below -

update tblexpwitretrocmdocs set sCheckedOut = A.sEditor, idone = 0 
from #tblDocs A
JOIN tblexpwitretroc         


        

Answer 1

To resolve the collation conflict add "COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT" keywords around “=” operator as shown below:

UPDATE tblexpwitretrocmdocs SET sCheckedOut = A.sEditor, idone = 0 
FROM #tblDocs A
JOIN tblexpwitretrocmdocs B ON A.SID = B.SID
WHERE A.iDocumentTypeId in (16,17,13,11) COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT
AND A.sid COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT NOT IN 
(SELECT SID COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT FROM tblexpwitdocumentgeneral)

Hope this helps...
