I need to install SQL Server 2008R2 onto a new server but with a collation / sort order that originates from a SQL Server 7 system.
I find that all the relevant collation options available for selection in the install wizard are not a match for the database compatibility needed.
Is it possible to install SQL Server in some other way and specify a very specific backward compatible collation ?
What I need to install is expressed as collation: "Compatibility_50_409_0"
It's a BINARY sort order - which in SQL Server 7 was Sort order 50, BIN_ISO_1 Binary from ISO 8859-1 (Unicode locale 1033, Case Sensitive)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
