SQL Collation problem

P

Peter Jakab

With our customer we installed the product, and the sql database is using
Hungarian_CI_AS collation (the default for hungarian installation).

The problem is with this kind of environment is that the customer tried to
create a new enterprise resource, and received an arror of

Duplicate windows account

Altough actually the account to be created was different from any other
already existing in the database.

The new account is

domain\sszanto

The only record that exists in the MSP_WEB_RESOURCES table in
WRES_NT_ACCOUNT column
is

Domain\szszanto

But the two is considered as identical with the Collation the database is
using. ('domain\sszabo'='domain\szszabo' !)

The question is if I can change the Collation for this column is the table
to Hungarian_technical CI_AS (with this collation the two would be
different), or we will face collation conflicts later?

As I see, there is another place where the nt account is stored, the
MSP_TEXT_FIELDS table, where TEXT_FIELD_ID='205521207'

The other question is if I should change the TEXT_VALUE columns collation as
well?

If the column collation changes will couse problems later, what kind of
solution would you advise for this problem?
