I have a project that integrates with software whose backend is on SQL Server 2000 and where the database default collation type is Latin1_General_BIN. I created a new database with the standard collation type of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. When I try to join tables across database with a foreign key in my database I get an error like "Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_BIN" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation."



I figured out that I can change the collation type for columns in the database to avoid this problem. Unfortunately DDT doesn't apply this setting when deploying a DDT package.



Any chance you could add the ability for DDT store this setting and apply it when deploying to a new database?



Thanks,

Govinda
