–Test 1 If database collation is case insenstive and you are trying to detect changes on a column where only the case has changed, this will not detect

SELECT A.*

FROM (SELECT ‘SQLSERVERCASECOLLATIONTEST’ AS COLA,’COLLATIONA’ AS COLB) A

LEFT JOIN (SELECT ‘sqlservercasecollationtest’ AS COLA,’COLLATIONA’ AS COLB) B ON A.COLA=B.COLA

WHERE B.COLA IS NULL

–Test 2 If database collation is case insenstive and you are trying to detect changes on a column, this will detect

SELECT A.*

LEFT JOIN (SELECT ‘sqlservercasecollationtest’ AS COLA,’COLLATIONA’ AS COLB,BINARY_CHECKSUM(‘sqlservercasecollationtest’,’COLLATIONA’) AS COLC ) B ON A.COLC=B.COLC
