You can change the collation of any new objects that are created in a user database by using the COLLATE clause of the ALTER DATABASE statement. This statement does not change the collation of the columns in any existing user-defined tables. These can be changed by using the COLLATE clause of ALTER TABLE.

If there are too many columns, you can loop through SYS.COLUMNS to apply the ALTER TABLE statement.
