I need to change sql server 2008 collation.
Instead of changing the collation on exsiting instance, I am thinking to uninstall and reinstall Sql Server with the new collation. I can afford to do this as I need to change the collation on my development machine and not the production server.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to leave the current instance (default) of sql server 2008 as is, and install another sql server 2008 instance with the new collation. If yes, what would be the way/steps to do it?
2. I have Visual Studio 2008 installed. Do I need to follow any steps or sequence to carry out the required operation else should it break anything that works.
looking forward to your replies....
