  • Sure...a starting point would be to use the following select statement:

    select

    databasepropertyex('pubs', 'Collation')

    A simple approach would be to use the sysdatabases system table and generate the above scripts for you to execute - just replace 'pubs' with the database name.

  • Paul thx for that. That gives me a good starting point. I will have to go and have a look at each of the DB's inidividually as well to check for any collation differences at the column level also.
