Hugo Kornelis has a script to change server collations across a large number of objects:
Problem is: the new instance was set up with a default collation that was different from the default collation of the old instance. And hence different from the database default collation. And when that resulted in errors, they responded by changing the default collation. Now everything ran and they were happy.
Fast forward two years. The database now has lots of “old” tables that use the original default collation for all string columns. But also lots of “new” tables that have their string columns using the new default collation. And the upgrade failed because somewhere in the new code is a comparison between two character columns that now have incompatible collation.
Click through for the script, as well as the standard disclaimer never blindly to run things in production.
