Question

When I try to change my stored procedure (below) and I receive this error message:

“Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be performed because the collation of the value is unresolved due to a collation conflict”

The error occurs in this line:

INSERT INTO @TempList (OrderID) VALUES (@EmpID)

I don´t understand what problem with collation exist.

Please, ideas about this..

Thanks

It sounds like a configuration problem with language/internationalization.

Perhaps your client might be configured for one locale, and your database/database server for a different locale?

One workaround might be an explicit cast, for example:
