Dear all,

I try to establish simple join between two table and i am getting

select policy.policynumber ,filter.email
from policy
inner join filter on filter.policynumber = policy.policynumber

'Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 4
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation'

How to fix this issue.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Regards,
SG

col1 = col2 collate Latin1_General_CI_AS

Or better change one of the columns so you have a consistent collation.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

It seems that the tables in join are having different collations. There are three solutions to solve this issue:

1. If possible change the database collation.
2. If possible change the server collation.
3. To allow specific queries to run despite the difference on collations, you need to modify those queries and include the COLLATE or COLLATE database_default clause when comparing string columns with different collations.
