Hi,
I'm installing SQL2000 on a new cluster server.
I selected a 'custom installation' and was presented with a
'Collation settings' screen.
I need it to be SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation
as I will be restoring databases with this collation.
What should I choose from the 'Collation designator' and 'SQL
Collations' box.
Is it 'Dictionary order, case-insensitive, for use with 1252
characters'?

What will be the default? Will it be the same default as for the
'typical' installation?
Thanks

I would guess that is be the one, although the description also fits into
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI.

When you install Window collations, there are check-boxes for the
sensitivity stuff, but there might not be for SQL collations. (I
never install these.)

I believe that SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS is the default is your
regional settings is English (USA).
