I installed SQL 2000 Developer (yes, old, don't ask) on my laptop … with the wrong collation. Oops!
It's showing Latin1_General_CI_AS, but it turns out I need to use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS to match another instance we're working with.
I found some references with Google on how to change the collation for a specific database, but I'd like to change it for the entire server instance. Is there a way to fix this without having to re-install SQL Server 2000? It's a pain with the service pack, security fixes, etc.
Thanks

Quite honestly, I think your easiest approach will be:
Also you know that SQL Server 2000 is well out of mainstream maintenance, right? And that quite soon there will have been FOUR major releases since then?
