Im select from two table. Im getting this error 'cannot resolve collation confilct' How can I change the table collation property. I have tried to alter field but datetime and interger field cannot be alter or probably I need to know the syntax.

Table - AFAIK nope. Possible only during CREATE TABLE, not after that.

Int/datetime columns don't have collation, only string types a la char/varchar.

There are two ways to change column collation: with ALTER TABLE... ALTER COLUMN or with EM (table design, last column property field). If you have other column-bound objects (defaults, indexes etc) EM is definitely easier choice.

Btw. better check all string columns. This conflict probably isn't the only one.
