Goal

When running RCU, the following error is encountered:


DECLARE @collate sysname
SELECT @collate = convert(sysname, serverproperty('COLLATION'))
IF ( charindex(N'_CI', @collate) > 0 )
BEGIN
select @collate = replace(@collate, N'_CI', N'_CS')
exec ('ALTER database BIEE COLLATE ' + @collate)
END
GO
this returned the following error
