"The database you are attempting to restore was backed under a different Unicode locale ID(1033) or Unicode comparison style(196609) than the Unicode locale ID(1033)or Unicode comparison style(196611)currently running on this server."

Next I decided to create the databases manually and then restore from a Dlt backup tape medium.This overwrote the newly created database but when I try to access the database through Enterprise Manager I could not because the database was flagged as suspect.

How do I sort either if not both of these problems?

You help will be appreciated.

Thanking You.

You haven't installed the new server in the same way as the old.
As v7 doesn't support datbase specific collations you can't restore the database.

You will have to either re-install or rebuild master with the correct collation.
This is probably something like accent sensitive or such.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
