#54 Database collation is not recognized by older client drivers
I am currently experiencing the error below when trying to connect to a MS SQL instance (MS SQL Server 2008).
I wonder if there is any known way to connect to the instance anyway, and avoid/ignore the "not recognized by older client drivers" message? I have tried different settings and versions, but so far without any lock.
Best regards,
Steffen
