[mssql] Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AI" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

I'm trying to get a match between the sysobjects.name and the objname returned by ::fn_listextendedproperty from the extended properties table (or view or wherever they hide that stuff in SQL 2005):

SELECT o.[id] AS tbl_id, o.[name] AS tbl_nm,
       x.value AS col_desc
  FROM sysobjects o (NOLOCK)
  INNER JOIN ::fn_listextendedproperty(
               N'MS_Description',
               N'user', N'dbo',
               N'table', N'MyTable',
               NULL, default) x
  ON x.objname = o.name
  WHERE o.name = 'MyTable'

The script returns an error message like this:

Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AI" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.



Solution
: Rewrite your join like this

ON o.[name] = e.objname COLLATE Latin1_general_CI_AS
