Hi there, hoping someone can give me a hand with this particularly time-sensitive problem. We completed inventory tonight, but are having difficulties uploading the csv files created when scanning product off-site.
We scan our offsite inventory onto a handheld scanner, using the 2B-Inventory software. This particular piece of software has always given me problems.
We were unable to sync it properly this time, so I exported the scanned files as .csv, copied them onto my PC, and then tried to import them into their relevant inventory files. Whenever I try to import, I get the following error message.
Error=#-2147217900
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between 'Latin1_General_CI_As' and 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI' in the equal to operation.
(Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server)
(SQL State: 42000)
(NativeError: 468)
No Help file available.
UPDATE [##ST_Validation_1]
SET ImportStatus = 3
. ItemID = Item.ID
FROM Item INNER JOIN [##ST_Validation_1] ON Item.ItemLookupCode = [##ST_Validation_1].ItemLookupCode
When I investigate my Database collation, I discover that the Server Collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS, while the Database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI
If I run a query on the various tables to see if they're all on the same database, I discover that they're not, but I'm not sure if that's part of the functionality of the program (I'm running the ComicSuite extension on my RMS).
I have no idea if the problem is that the Database and Server are not the same, but I've tried to make them the same (by going to Database --> Change Collation in SO Administrator), and I immediately start getting an error that I can't connect to the database, and then I have to restore my backup to get it to work again, so obviously, that's not working.
Any help you could give me, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
