SQL Server Data Force Binary Collation Setting

Description

For all string data types, forces binary collation irrespective of column collation, resulting in a case-sensitive comparison. When this option is selected and the comparison key is a string, this may result in slower performance because the indexes are not used.

Type

Boolean

Default

false

Usage

Flyway Desktop

This can be set from the data comparison options settings in SQL Server projects.

Command-line

./flyway diff -redgateCompare.sqlserver.data.options.comparison.forceBinaryCollation=true

TOML Configuration File

[redgateCompare.sqlserver.data.options.comparison]
forceBinaryCollation = true
