Hi
When we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name
(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).
The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with a
different collation name in order to be able to accept the character set
we use, Hebrew.
We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from our
main system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Although
the DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew letters when I copy data with OSQL
it comes over as jibberish.
After looking into the matter I came to the conclusion that while DTS
refers to specific databases and uses the destination database's
collation name , OSQL refers to the remote server and destination server
and therefore uses the collation name of the server and not of the
database. In order for it to successfully copy the Hebrew I need to
change the default collation name of the installation.
Is "rebuild master" the way to do such a thing ? (this is a production
server so we are wary of doing a "rebuild master")
Has anyone else run into similar problems when transfering data between
servers using OSQL ?
Thanks
David Greenberg
