CollationName Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The CollationName property retrieves or sets the collation name of a linked server.
Syntax
object.CollationName [=value]
Parts
object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To listvalue
A string that specifies a valid collation name
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetCollationName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetCollationName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Remarks
If CollationName is not set, the default collation is used. If set to the default collation, CollationName returns NULL. Prior to setting the CollationName property, use the ListCollations method to retrieve a list of valid collation names. Setting CollationName to NULL or an empty string results in setting the collation back to the default.
Note
If an application calls CollationName on an instance of Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
