I am getting below said collation error since I have moved from a desktop machine to a laptop. My database has hundreds of stored procedures, so any solution like overriding some queries or fix collation for a column is not possible for me.
"Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AI" in the equal to operation"
My problem is not unique and I have searched for this quite a lot, but solutions available suggest me to override queries with some code which is not feasible. Please suggest some solution that may avoid this collation thing.
I have tried this to alter my database collation.
ALTER DATABASE testDB
COLLATE French_CI_AI ;
GO
Thanks.

Just use the following syntax to collate on the fly when joining tables with different collations. I integrate systems, so I have to do this a lot.
