What does the COLLATE keyword in SQL signify?


Collation is the order that SQL Server uses for sorting or comparing textual data. The temporary database is a system database that inherits it’s collation order from the master. If this temp table is compared to a real one, SQL Server will inform that it cannot resolve collation conflict on = operation.
To solve this, the tables should be created using the COLLATE keyword.
