collection name question

1 of my SQL 2000 servers has few databases that acts as backend for web based
.NET applications, most of them is in English and they have collection name:
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_Cl_AS.. I just noticed that recently deployed db which
stores Italian text has collection name: <empty> .. my questions are what it
should be? are there any potential problems we can run into? can you change
it afterwords?
TIAHi Rafal,
Databases can not have an empty collation. You can check the collation for
the database in Enterprise Manager by right-clicking the database and
selecting Properties, or by executing
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('<db name>', 'Collation')
in Query Analyzer.
The only place I can think of where you might see an 'empty' collation, is
when you use the table designer in Enterprise Manager and you look at a
character column that has the default collation for the database.
