I am writing a script and when I run it I get the error:

quote:
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

If is happening ion the 3rd IF statement when it is evaluating the variable, if I comment out the code the script works fine, how can I fix this?

DECLARE @Source varchar(25);

SET @Source = 'DOD';
/*
Source options are:
	DOD
	SPRAGUEENERGY
	SRAPROD
*/

IF (@Source = 'DOD')
BEGIN
	USE DOD;

END

IF(@Source = 'SPRAGUEENERGY')
BEGIN
	USE SPRAGUEENERGY;

END

IF (@Source = 'SRAPROD')
BEGIN
	USE SRAPROD;
END

--
If I get used to envying others...
Those things about my self I pride will slowly fade away.

use COLLATE to override default collation

something like

IF (@Source COLLATE database_default = 'SRAPROD' COLLATE database_default)
