Cannot resolve the collation conflict in the equal to operation

I have , updated to latest EPi version today and when deploying to Azure I get an error. If you hurry you might catch this detailed error msg at my blog :-)

Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

Source Error:

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

  <%@ page language="C#" debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:


   
       
   


Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.%@>

I think I got the hang of what has happend, EPi VS addon created the database SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, then I just out of old habit didn't check that and put Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS when creating an empty database in Azure.

I would still consider this a bug in the update scripts.

I'll post an update if I can solve it without migrating to a new Azure database.
