I think the closest collation in SQL Server is Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS. since you had swedish collation and case insensitive in MySql. The SQL Server collation is accent sensitive so if that's not correct use ..._AI

You can use this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188046.aspx[^] to match the collations.

You can define the collation similarly in SQL Server, for more details, see CREATE TABLE[^] and the COLLATE keyword for columns.
