I also find that SQL Server is often installed by a separate team and the default collations are selected. The correct SQL Collation should be:

Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS

  • Latin1_General Character Set ;
  • Case Insensitive – A and a are treated as the same character;
  • Accent Sensitive – a and รก are NOT treated as the same character;
  • Kana Sensitive – Japanese Hirakana and Katakana characters which look the same are NOT treated as the same character;
  • Width Sensitive – Single-Byte and Double-Byte versions of the same character are NOT treated as the same character;
