Database Collation Conversion

Hi Guru's,
I am trying to copy Production to a new Test server. Production is 32-bit SQL 2000 the new Test Server is x64 bit and SQL 2005.
The problem I face is with the database Collation. Production database is SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN and I'm trying to get it to SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 before attaching it to SQL 2005 on the new Test server. I used INSTCOLL.EXE as advised in OSS 600027 and recieved the following message :
Trying to connect...
Connected to <<SERVERNAME>>
Executing conversion of database <<SID>>
Database <<SID>> has been converted to collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2.
However, select databasepropertyex('<<SID>>', 'collation') still returns SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN
The 'server collation' is SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN. Would this affect how the INSTCOLL.EXE would work?
I tried attaching the database to SQL 2005 as SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN and converting it from there and got this message :
Trying to connect...
Connected to <<SERVERNAME>>
This program will only run against SQL Server 2000 newer or equal to version 8.00.780.
Your server is 9.0.3175
You must install SQL 2000, SP3 and the Unicode Hotfix (QFE).
NOTHING DONE!
Can someone please suggest another way to get the SQL 2000 database to BIN2? Or perhaps offer a suggestion to where I'm going wrong with the conversion?
Thanks,
Kye

Hi,
The permitted collations for SQL Server 2000 are as follows:
o SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN (BIN) and
o SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 (BIN2).
Only the following 3 combinations are supported by SAP:
.SAP-Basis................
.SQL.Server....
.<SAP.DATABASE>.
.non-Unicode.and.non-Java.
.BIN...........
.BIN............
.non-Unicode.and.non-Java.
.BIN2..........
.BIN2...........
.Unicode.or.Java..........
.BIN2..........
.BIN2...........
The same collation must always be installed for the SQL Server and the
database.
For a non-Unicode system that does not contain any Java components, you can
select both BIN and BIN2. With a Unicode system or a system that contains
Java components, you must select BIN2 as the collation for the server and
database.
For more details refer SAP Note : 505906.

Project Server (SharePoint) - Database Collation question.

Hi,
I have been looking at the performance of our SharePoint database server and one of its uses is Project Server.
Our databases are set as follows
Project Server Databases (Latin1_General_CI_AS)
SharePoint Server Content Databases (Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS)
TempDB (Latin1_General_CI_AS)
It seems that the Project Server databases should be (SQL_Latin1General_CP1_CI_AS):
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff800813(v=office.14).aspx
e.g.
Database
Collation
Project Server Archive
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Project Server Draft
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Project Server Published
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Project Server Reporting
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
SharePoint Server Content
Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS
I may be worrying unnecessarily but my understanding was that the tempdb should be the same collation as the user databases (where possible). With the SharePoint content and the Project Server databases on the same instance this is not possible.
Should I...
1. Not worry about it (the performance impact is negligable).
2. Create seperate instances so that the TempDB can match the user databases (I am worried that the overhead of an extra instance will be more than the overhead of different collations).
3. Implement Contained/Partially contained databases (new possible option)
4. Something else?
Also how bad is it that the Project server databases are Latin1_General_CI_AS rather than SQL_Latin1General_CP1_CI_AS.
Thanks in advance
Shaun

Hi Prasanna,
thank you for taking the time to respond.
From the link - I read this as Microsoft insisting that you use Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS for the SharePoint content databases and recommending it for the system databases including TempDB?
Our TempDB is not the same collation as the SharePoint content databases but the same as the Project Server databases. Which brings me back to my original questions.
From the Technet article:
The following TechNet Article talks about the SQL Server collation for the SharePoint databases
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288970.aspx#section1
“The SQL Server collation must be configured for case-insensitive. The SQL Server database collation must be configured for case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, Kana-sensitive, and width-sensitive. This is to
ensure file name uniqueness consistent with the Windows operating system.”
However, we do not support changing the default collation (Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS) for SharePoint databases to any other collations (CI, AS, KS, WS).
We support any CI collation for the SQL instance (for master, tempdb databases). However we
recommend using Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS as the instance default collation (master, tempdb databases).

I had the same error and it turned out to be an issue with the domain name specification. I have a single node install on a computer not on a network. But it had been part of a domain earlier. I took it out of the domain and followed the instructions posted by Srinath Nanduri in his post 'Steps for **SUCCESSFUL** installation of 11.5.9 on Windows' - Steps for **SUCCESSFUL** installation of 11.5.9 on Windows

Database Characterset Conversion from AMERICAN to JAPANESE

Hello
We are creating a test environment from a database with NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1. This needs to be converted into Japanese characterset with NLS_LANG = JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC
As per my understanding, I need to first export the database, then create a new database with Japanese NLS_LANG, and then re-import it
Could someone please confirm the steps please
1. Do I need to change NLS_LANG before exporting the database?
2. Can I run a database characterset conversion check before exporting db?
3. Is there any other pre-cautions that I need to take

Hello,
I have used the Character Set Scan utility (csscan) Version 1.2. I have attached the report results below.
To convert the character set instead of export/import, can I simply do

Hi there.
I had encountered the same hanging problem at "Performing database characterset conversion adsvdcnv.cmd" (On Microsoft Windows Server 2003 - - XEON PROCESSOR - a staging area installation - rapidwiz ver 11.5.9.22 - . ).
What i did is that i installed the JDK version : 1.4.2.04 instead of 1.3.1 and reinstalled the product. So the installation completed successfully..

Database Collation VS Column Collation

I have some Collation problem I need a help, please!
I have two SAME test databases,
but one (A) has a Collation set to Hebrew_CI_AS, and another one (B) - SQL_Latin1_General_CPT1_CS_AS.
Both databases have a Synopsis table with a column NVARCHAR(1000), holding programmes EPG.
In database (A) the COLUMN's Collation is set to SQL_Latin1_.... ( an opposit to the database ! )
In database (B) the COLUMN's Collation is set to Hebrew_CI_...  (again - an opposit to the database)
My problem is:
When I want to update this column on databse (A) with special latin tags, f.e. ñç, I get question marks only: UPDATE A..Synopsis SET ... = 'Pour Bébé' shows me Pour B?b?
On the other hand, if in database (B)  I want to type some Hebrew carachters, I get ???????? as well.
It seems that despite I have a specified collation on my column, SQL keeps ignore it.
How can I fix it?
Many thanks in advance

My problem is:
When I want to update this column on databse (A) with special latin tags, f.e. ñç, I get question marks only: UPDATE A..Synopsis SET ... = 'Pour Bébé' shows me Pour B?b?
On the other hand, if in database (B)  I want to type some Hebrew carachters, I get ???????? as well.
I see Ed bumped this old unanswered thread. Even though you've probably since resolved the issue, I'll answer it to help others that may run into the same issue.
Collation affects non-Unicode string literals and the characters that can be stored for non-Unicode columns (char and varchar). Unicode columns (nchar and nvarchar) can store all the characters you mentioned properly.  The character conversion
problem occurs here because you are you are not indicated a Unicode character string literal so the value is interpreted as an non-Unicode string literal and converted according to the database default collation.
To fix the problem, prefix the literal string with an N to indicate a Unicode string line the example below. If the SQL is executed from a client application, the best solution is to use properly typed parameters instead of string literals.
SET ... = N'Pour Bébé'

Oracle Database : Date conversion issue between timezones

Hi All,
We are trying to convert date from Eurpoer/Amsterdam timezone to Australia/Sydnet timezone and extracting time out of it.
We are facing issue related to incorrect timing after conversion.
Please find below issue details,
Environment
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
Machine: Linux RHEL 4
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Issue: After converting date from Eurpoer/Amsterdam timezone to Australia/Sydnet timezone
SELECT TO_CHAR (FROM_TZ (TO_TIMESTAMP ('201110201416', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
DBTIMEZONE
) AT TIME ZONE 'Australia/Sydney', 'HH24:MI')
FROM DUAL
Output of above SQL is 22:16.
Expected output is 23:16
Database Timezone (DBTIMEZONE) is set to +02:00 (i.e. GMT + 2) (Europe/Amsterdam)
If we convert date to Australia/Tasmania timezone then we get expected output i.e. 23:16.
Question: Expected time for Australia/sydney is 23:16, but why Oracle database provides 22:16 as output.
Please note that, Sydney and Tasmania comes under same timezone. Still we get different output for both the timezone.
Oracle database considers GMT + 10 for Australia/sydney and GMT + 11 for Australia/Tasmania.
If we want to use Australia/sydney then how should we get correct sydney time?
Regards
Shailendra

I made a test and it showed when I omit TO_CHAR, both queries have the same result 11:15 PM. So it's TO_CHAR which is the 'culprit'. Since this is a globalization issue, you may repeat your question in this forum:
Globalization Support
(So one of the moderators moves the thread to this forum).

By the way my local timezone is Europe/Berlin, there should be no difference to Amsterdam.

Database adjustment - Conversion failed at step5

Hi All,
When I changed the field length from char7 to char5 for a ZField, which is being used in many other tables like BSEG and COEP, SAP tried to convert all those tables. All the tables were converted and activated properly except for COEP.
Conversion process of COEP is failed at step 5 of the process defined by SAP.
Restart Log of the conversion:
1) Initialization was successful
2) Unload - Successful
3) Delete data - Successful
4) Activate - Successful
5) Reload data - failed
6) Create Indexes - Failed
When I open COEP table through SE11, it displays a information message saying " Table COEP does not exist in the database".
Please help me in correcting above mentioned issue.
Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Jalendhar

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did that but it is failed to restart the conversion again. It says correct the conversion errors and try adjust the table.
Here are the errors
SQL0551N "SAPP02" does not have the privilege to perform operation "C

2) Creation of table COEP or primary index in DB failed
3) Error in step COEP-STEP5
Please suggest a way to fix this issue. Thanks again for your time!

AW Database Document conversion

Is there a way to convert an AW6 database document to a functioning document that can be used on a PC? I have tried NeoOffice and have been unable to do this... What am I missing?

No conversion necessary if the target PC has AW for Windows.
Otherwise, it depends upon what your ultimate objective is, and how complex your database is. If there are no media fields, just drag the DB to a spreadsheet. You can save the spreadsheet as an excel file then before you transfer the file. The Excel file can then be used as the basis for an MS Access database. Or you can save the file as ASCII text. The information can then be imported into any DB that can interpret a tab-delimited file. In either case, any special layouts or reports will be lost, and calculated fields will likely not be preserved in a useable form.

AlwaysOn & Contained Databases Collation Conflict

Here is my situation.
I have setup an alwaysOn availability group which is working fine.
In this AlwaysOn availability group I have converted the Adventureworks database to a contained database. I also added a Contained User.
Connecting to the secondary "Contained" database was no problem.
But here is my problem, when expanding the tables I received the following errormessage:"Cannot resolve collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_100_CI_AS_KS_WS_SC" in add operator occurring in SELECT statement
column 3."
Doing this action on the primary is no problem. Executing a select statement against the secondary is also no problem and returns a result.
After some trial and error, I’ve seem to fixed the issue by doing a failover to all my secondary databases.
After, expanding the tables to the primary & secondary worked.
Does anybody have an idea why this happened, and am I the only one experiencing this issue?
Thanks, Bram

Forms and database character conversion

Hi,
We currently have a database setup to use a non-utf8 characters set, I believe it is set up for western european languages only. We now want to expand our database to include support for other languages such as arabic and japanese. To do this we would like to make a copy of our existing database and change the charecter set to UTF8.
We also have a Forms application currently using Forms 5 and due to be upgraded to 11g.
What sort of implications willl changing the database character set have for the existing Oracle Forms? What sort of changes if any will we need to make to the Forms in order to get them working with the new character set?
Thanks for your help.

UNICODE conversion of Siebel Database- Impact on interface

Hi All,
This is regarding the impacts on Interfaces after Siebel database UNICODE conversion.
We are planning to do a UNICODE conversion of the Siebel database.In the current landscape we have Siebel interacting with multiple application which are non UNICODE.
Majority of the interfaces(outbound/inbound) are batch interfaces which either use file or PL/SQL + EIM for the data transfer.
We have the following queries about the impact on the Interfaces post conversion
1) the Interfaces which are outbound from siebel to non -unicode database what will be impact on these interface.
2) For the above mentioned interfaces do we need to do some conversion of data before it gets loaded to non unicode database.
3) for the inbound interfaces will the siebel unicode data base will allow the data which is flowing from non unicode database.
Could you please guide me with your experiences which will help us in planning this conversion.
Do let us know if there must to consider points for Siebel database unicode conversions
Thanks,
Ashutosh

Ashutosh,
Did you already start on the Unicode conversion?
We contacted Oracle, but so far they only said we need to go through a workshop where we can estimate the impact on the interfaces.
Since we need to do a cost/benefit analyses before we decide to do this, it's hard to do so when you don't know the impact on the interfaces.
In our case we use EIM, Web Services, MSMQ (XML) and flat files.
Anyone with experience with a conversion to Unicode and impact on interfaces?

How to change collation at Database level

Hi ,
I need to change one of my database collation . Actually the server collation and database collation is differently . I dont want to change server level collation. I want to change only database collation . Please let me know the various methods are
available for this activity. Please suggest me how to proceed ..........
Thanks in advance ....... :)
Regards
Pradeep

Hi Eeland,
Yes .... you are absolutely correct . Actually this is production server also . Before going to implement i need to prepare a document , what are the steps i will follow. If you have free time ...... please help me.
Regards
Pradeep
You can use script as below
DECLARE @Query varchar(max)
SELECT @Query = COALESCE(@Query + ';','') + 'ALTER TABLE ' + TABLE_NAME + ' ALTER COLUMN ' + COLUMN_NAME + ' ' + DATA_TYPE + '(' + CASE WHEN CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH = -1 THEN 'max' ELSE (CAST(CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH AS varchar(5)) END + ') ' + CASE WHEN IS_NULLABLE = 'YES' THEN ' NULL ' ELSE ' NOT NULL ' END + ' COLLATE <new collationname here>'
WHERE DATA_TYPE IN ('text','ntext','varchar','char','nvarchar','nchar')
PRINT (@QUERY)
--EXEC (@QUERY)
But I second Erlands suggestion. First see the generated code and checkk it carefully before applying to prod environment
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Can you help ?

There is a option (database_default) to force the collation of the columns.

Error while Assigning database level role (db_datareader) to SQL login (Domain Account)

Team,
I got an error while creating a User for Domain Account. Below is the screen shot of the error (error : 15401)
Database instance is on SQL 2000 SP3. ( I know it is out of support, But the customer is relutanct to upgrade)
On Google search, i found below article which is best matching for this error
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324321
I have follows each step of troubleshooting. But still the issue persists.
Step 1. The login does not exist == The login is very much exist in the domain as i am able to add the same domain id to other database instances
Step 2. Duplicate security identifiers == i have used this query to find duplicate SID
/* SELECT name FROM syslogins WHERE sid = SUSER_SID ('YourDomain\YourLogin') */
But there was only one row returned with create date of today's.
Error while Assigning database level role (db_datareader) to SQL login (Domain Account)
Step 3. Authentication failure == Domain is available. User is able to login on other servers via RDP connection.
Step 4. Case sensitivity == Database collation is set to Case insensitivity. (CI)
Other two 5. Local Accounts & 6. Name resolution == is not applicable to me.
I tried other ways also.
A. Creating login and providing permission in one go only = User account is not created
B. Instead of GUI, use query to create login and provide required permission = Same error.
Does anybody has faced any such situation
