Question : Restoring a SQL Server database


I'm trying to restore a database from a file saved on a different server.
When I hit restore I get:
The database you are attempting to load was dumped under a different sort order ID(50) than the one currently on this server(52) and at least one of them is a non binary sort order.

How do I restore my database?

Answer : Restoring a SQL Server database

You need a separate NT Server machine on which you install SQL Server, choosing BINARY SORT ORDER during Setup, as this setting can ONLY be set during this moment.

On this brand new SQL Server you can restore your database, in order to back it up again (the backup file will then contain the BINARY SORT ORDER indication.

Use this new backup to restore in on the SQL Server you wanted to restore your database initally.
