| Mark writes "Looking for a way to check if case sensitivity is enabled on a SQL Server box. I had assumed this option would be returned in sp_serveroption (since it's a server option) but no such luck. I need a way to do this on the fly (as opposed to simply testing out a search on the box). Any thoughts?" |

| sp_helpsort should do the trick. It will return the full collation though, you'll need to parse it to determine case sensistivity settings. |
