change default collation for user database

Hi Folks,
Is there another way to change the default collation for a
user database without using the SQL cmd:
ALTER DATABASE myDatase COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS '
With the ALTER DATABASE it is not possible to change the
database collation whenever there are Check Constraint
which are depending on the database collation.
A go lead for me would also be if someone can tell me in
which master table this is recorded'
Cheers Jack.You have to drop the constraints, then change the database collation, and
recreate the constraints. Don't try to change anything in system table
directly, you can make your database completely unusable.
I have an (unsupported) script from Microsoft that you can use to recollate
a database. Drop me a mail if you want it.
