I installed SQL2008R2 to my new laptop but it hasn’t the collation I need for my databases. On my old laptop it was ‘Latin1_General_CI_AS’ and on my new one it is ‘SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS’.

All my old databases I’ve attached, but when I create a temp table I get error messages that the collations are not the same. So SQL can’t compare the varchar fields that I use to make a join.

DECLARE GETSTRATEGY_ROUTING_CURSOR CURSOR FORWARD_ONLY
FOR
SELECT N”, ID, RoutingType
FROM dbo.WRK_CC_Routing
WHERE ParentID = @QueueID
AND ReqID = @ReqID
