"Incorrect syntax near 'COLLATE'." Error When Trying to Join a SharePoint Farm

  • [アーティクル]

I encountered another nasty bug this morning while rebuilding our Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 Development environment (DEV). Since the time I originally created DEV, I installed SQL Server SP2 and also restored several legacy databases to support the development of the next version ("v2") of our solution.

After running the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard on the SSP server to create the farm, I ran the wizard on the first front-end Web server in order to join it to the new farm. On the second step of the configuration wizard, I left the default option selected (Yes, I want to connect to an existing server farm) and then clicked Next. On the Specify Configuration Database Settings step, I typed the name of the SQL Server and then clicked Retrieve Database Names.

At this point, I was presented with the oh-so-lovely "Unhandled exception" dialog displayed by the .NET Framework when something very bad happens.

Error message:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Incorrect syntax near 'COLLATE'. You may need to set the compatibility level of the current database to a higher value to enable this feature. See help for the stored procedure sp_dbcmptlevel.

Details:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I performed a quick search on our internal KB (which includes support incidents) and discovered that there is a known issue when the SQL Server has a database where the compatibility is set to 70. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I had recently restored some legacy databases in order to support the migration from the legacy systems to the new MOSS-based solution.

The solution documented in the SR (Service Request) was to backup the database (where the compatibility level is set to 70), change the compatibility level, and then proceed to re-run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard. Instead, I chose to simply type in the name of the configuration database (we are using the default, SharePoint_Config) as well as the service account name and password. The configuration then completed without error.
