The specified database has an incorrect collation. Rebuild the database with the Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS collation or create a new database

Problem:
 I have faced this error when I created a DB in the SQL server and then tried to create the Search Server DB name in the Search Server Configuration Page while configuring the Microsoft Search Server Express 2008.
Solution:
1. The problem is the database created has incorrect collation.
2. We have to change the collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS collation which is specified while configuring the web applications or search server DB in SharePoint.
3.  Connect to the SQL server -> Select the Database created.
4. Right Click on the Database -> Properties -> Select Options page -> Change the collation as shown below:
5. Now try to configure the Search or Web Application in SharePoint, it will work as expected.
