SQL Server Alias Types

markf909 · 2008-05-25 14:19:39

So I have a user defined alias type CREATE TYPE col1 FROM nVarChar(100); Does anybody know how to define a collation for that user defined alias type? E.g CREATE TABLE dbo.Tab ( mycol col1 COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS NULL; ) Does not work. Using Server 2005, anybody know if this is possible?

Dont think it can be done mate sorry. The UDT collation is taken from the database's default collation.

The UDT collation is based on the database collation where it was defined

You can use casts/converts if required..
