Hello,

I was trying to make a restore from a database backup. When the restore starts, SQL displays a error, showing that "Unicode comparison style" is different, between the actual database and the file that was retored from backup. I saw SQL Books Online and there was a command, using sp_configure to make the "Unicode comparison style" same.

USE master
EXEC sp_configure 'Unicode comparison style', '196609'
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

After run this command, 'Unicode comparison style' was the same that the another server where the backup was from. After that, I stop the SQL service and don't restart this services anymore.
I reboot the server, try to start manually, etc.
What can happen ?

Thanks,

Moises

Yes, the command was executed on the master database. No this server is for test only, we don't have backup for this server.

Look up rebuild master in Books Online. You can run that and you'll be fine (I think). I've never exactly done this before for this reason. :)
