Case Sensitive Flag

I have a customer with MS-SQL7 they have to have the case sensitive flag on for a database they purchased some time ago. Can I attach a database to the same SQL server and some how remove the case sensitive flag for just this DB?Not possible - this is set at the server level and affects all databases.

You (or your customer) is out of luck there. The collation (which includes
among other things the setting for case sensitivity) is a server wide
setting on SQL Server 7. You either need a separate server for that
database, or you need to upgrade to SQL Server 2000, or you can install a
named instance of SQL Server 2000 (with the appropriate collation) on the
same machine as SQL Server 7 is running on.
