SQL Collation conflict when comparing to a column in a temp table

Question

I have a SQL query that compares a value in the database to a constant:

SELECT * FROM my_table
INNER JOIN #TempTable tem
    ON my_table.id = temp.id
    AND         


        

Answer 1

The problem is the temp table. It uses the collation of the tempdb.

You could create a table in your actual db and not a temp table and then they would have the same collation. Or specify collation upon creating temp table.
