You work in San Francisco at the main office of your company. You are responsible for managing a SQL

Server 2005 database.

The sales department wants a report that compares customer activity in the previous quarter between the main

office in San Francisco and the branch office in Paris. They want the data sorted by surname and first name.

You restore a recent backup of the Paris database onto your server. You write queries to build the report, ordering

the data by the Surname and FirstName columns. You review the data and notice that the customer list from the

Paris database is sorted differently. The sales department needs the revised data within 15 minutes for a

presentation.

You need to implement the fastest possible solution that ensures that the data from both databases is sorted

identically.

What should you do?

A.
Use the Copy Database Wizard to copy the data in the Paris database to a new database with the same collation as the San Francisco database.

B.
Use the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to copy the data from the Paris database into new tables, specifying the same collation as the San Francisco database.

C.
Modify the format file to specify the same collation as the San Francisco database. Import the table again.

D.
Modify the query on the Paris database to use the COLLATE setting in the ORDER BY clause. In the query, specify the same collation as the San Francisco database.
