how to change collation in a Sybase12 dtabase from command line

1	The Unload utility in Sybase cnetral12 does not allow to change the collation. How can I do that in an existing Sybase12 database? windows-mobile asked 27 Sep '13, 11:42 SybaseLearner 75●4●4●6 accept rate: 0% flat view

You can't change the collation of an existing database - the collation can only be specified when the database is created.

I guess you would have to create a new database with the according collation first (via dbinit) and then could use dbunload -ac to do an one-step unload into the newly created database.

1	In addition to Volker's bad news, the COMPARE function aAllows you to compare two character strings based on alternate collation rules. permanent link answered 27 Sep '13, 14:16 Breck Carter 32.5k●541●726●1050 accept rate: 20% flat view
