I have the following situation.

DB1 is in SQL Server 2000, and is case-INsensitive.

This database needs to be transferred to a SQL Server 2005 that has been installed as case-Sensitive.

If I export DB1 and import it into the 2005 instance will it pick up the new collation or will it tranfer the collation as it was in SSrvr 2000.

If you are using the import/export wizard then it should keep the collation in 2005. But that requires that the database in 2005 is created there; you cannot restore 2000 database on to 2005. Then it will use the old collation. Thanks.
