Property Value

A String value that specifies the name of the collation.

Remarks

You can find the available collation strings in Selecting a SQL Server Collation, by running the EnumCollations method, or during SQL Server setup. The collation string contains information about the code page, case-sensitivity, accent sensitivity, and language or alphabet.

Example

'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server

'Reference the AdventureWorks database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")

'Display the current default collation.
Console.WriteLine(db.Collation)

'Display the case-sensitivity of the current collation.
Console.WriteLine("Collation is case-sensitive = " + _
db.CaseSensitive.ToString)
