One method:
IF 'A' = 'a'
PRINT 'case insensitive'
ELSE
PRINT 'case sensitive'
Hope this helps.

Run sp_helpdb
in the result of sp_helpdb's status column if Collation says XX_CI_xx then

You can specify the collation for a database when you create it.
create database newdb ... collate <collation name> ...
You'll also have to watch out for joining between different collations if
change some but not others.
If you intend to create objects in your new database based on objects in
your old database, be sure to remove any collation clauses from your scripts
so that the newdb's default collation will be used instead of being
overridden by something in the scrip.
