! PLEASE HELP !! Collation selection on install

Hi, I need to change the collation when I install SQL Express 2005 to SQL_LATIN1_GENERAL_CP1_CI_AS but the drop down on setup only allows

LATIN1_GENERAL.

How do I get the correct collation to appear?

Thanks for any help/tips

hi,

as you can see in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144250.aspx, SQL collations are for compatibility with older settings and are not directly listed (as you want them) in the installation wizard.... you can "only" choose a Windows collation, that lists all the variations of each particular collation, or SQL collation, that you have to "customize" to fit your needs.. so, for SQL_LATIN1_GENERAL_CP1_CI_AS you have to choose Dictionary order, case-insensitive, 1252 character set (or alternate locale to fit your needs)..

regards

|||Kool....thanks a million that did the trick ;-)
