Important Note:

In order to function correctly, Commerce Server databases require case-insensitive collation settings. If you have configured SQL Server so that databases are created with case-sensitive collations by default, you will have to take extra steps to make sure that the Commerce Server databases are not created using your default collation settings. For example, you could pre-create the Commerce Server databases, and then use a command such as the following to change the default collation settings for these databases before running the Commerce Server Setup program: ALTER DATABASE <database_name> COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
