SQL Collation conflict when comparing to a column in a temp table

Question

I have a SQL query that compares a value in the database to a constant:

SELECT * FROM my_table
INNER JOIN #TempTable tem
    ON my_table.id = temp.id
    AND my_table.key = 'SOME STRING'

And I get the error:

Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.

How can I get around this? (without making changes to the database)

UPDATE: I get this error even if I remove the last like (the string comparison)...

Answer 1

Seems your id's are VARCHARs with different collations.

Try this:

SELECT  *
FROM    my_table
INNER JOIN
        #TempTable tem
ON      my_table.id = temp.id COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
        AND my_table.key = 'SOME STRING'
