You Installed Your SQL Server Wrong: Why Collation is Important

Bill Rehm, ATS - Database Lead

At GSI we get a lot of companies asking us to analyze their databases after they experience performance and other issues. With Microsoft SQL Server there is one setting that, to the best of my recollection, is never set correctly – database collation. I know, never say never, but if I found it set correctly somewhere I sure don’t remember it. It’s a key setting and some applications – most notably JD Edwards EnterpriseOne – require a custom collation setting that is different from the default. If collation isn’t set right you’re going to have problems.

UDO Your Grids - Share the Love

Dan Schultheis, Sr Manager - Enterprise Consulting

If I had a nickel for each time someone said …”Oh, I like that screen”, or, “Oh yeah, I hate the secondary qty, it’s always in my way”, I would not need to play the Powerball tonight. Of course, you always say “Just create a grid without it”, they either do it, or only do it half way.

Well, I’m here today to say all your hard work (actually pretty easy work) can be shared using the "Work with User Defined Objects (UDO)" screen, assuming you or someone you know (admin) have security to do so.
