sql server clients:
The collations on the two servers must be different enough that it can not
directly compare the column in one table to the other. What datatypes are
CustID and ShiptoID?

Querying Linked Servers Sara C via SQLMonster.com

We recently linked two of our SQL servers and I was looking forward to the
luxury of querying across them. However, I am getting the following problem:

Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation.

I understand this has something to do with Collating, but don't quite know
how that associates with my query which is below:

select sc.custid from SQL.bradco_prod.dbo.sc_customer sc left join
BIXS.Insite.dbo.zzbdw_arbal_keith a
on sc.custid = a.custid
inner join BIXS.Insite.dbo.zzbdw_shipto_vw v on
a.custid = v.custid and
a.shiptoid = v.shiptoid


Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
