Syntax

COLLATIONPROPERTY( collation_name , property )

collation_name
The name of the collation. The collation_name argument has an nvarchar(128) data type, with no default value.

property
The collation property. The property argument has a varchar(128) data type, and can have any one of the following values:

Property name	Description
CodePage	Non-Unicode code page of the collation. This is the character set used for varchar data. See Appendix G DBCS/Unicode Mapping Tables and Appendix H Code Pages to translate these values, and to see their character mappings. Base data type: int
LCID	Windows locale ID of the collation. This is the culture used for sorting and comparison rules. See LCID Structure to translate these values (you will first need to convert to varbinary). Base data type: int
ComparisonStyle	Windows comparison style of the collation. Returns 0 for binary collations - both (_BIN) and (_BIN2) - as well as when all properties are sensitive - (_CS_AS_KS_WS) and (_CS_AS_KS_WS_SC) and (_CS_AS_KS_WS_VSS). Bitmask values: Ignore case : 1 Ignore accent : 2 Ignore Kana : 65536 Ignore width : 131072 Note: the variation-selector-sensitive (_VSS) option is not represented in this value, even though it affects the comparison behavior. Base data type: int
Version	The version of the collation. Returns a value between 0 and 3. Collations with "140" in the name return 3. Collations with "100" in the name return 2. Collations with "90" in the name return 1. All other collations return 0. Base data type: tinyint
