When I install SQL Server 2000, I wanna make a server have
"Latin1_General_CI_AS" Collation.What Must I set on Collation setting?

If I install in Win2000 server and when on Collation setting, I choose
option "SQL Collations...", and select "Dictionary order,
Case-insensitive,...". So the server will not be "Latin1_General_CI_AS"
Collation. But When I install it on Win98, the server will be
"Latin1_General_CI_AS" Collation. Why?

Oh yeah, If the server has been a certain collation. Can I change collation
on a database away?

Hi,
you can alter the current collation for a database by ALTER DATABASE statement

ALTER DATABASE 'yourdb' COLLATE 'newcollation'
