I want to install SQL Server but I don't want to use default database engine collation defined during setup(there is polish collation). I know how to change it during setup but I need clear English (which is not on the list).

It is safe to install server with random collation and the try to change database engine collation?

    I would personally install the instance with the correct collation first. Changing the collation afterwards is much harder than getting it right at the start. – Thom A Sep 06 '19 at 09:24
  • Yeah, but I can't select english collation from the list ;/ – Redzix Sep 06 '19 at 09:28

    @Redzix, what do you mean by not able to select an English collation? A Latin1_General collation is appropriate for english languages. Consider using `Latin1_General_CI_AS` and standardize on the same collation for all of your instances, if possible. – Dan Guzman Sep 06 '19 at 09:57
