EnumCollations Method
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 EnumCollations method returns all valid Microsoft SQL Server collation names.
Syntax

.EnumCollations( ) as QueryResults
Parts
- object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT EnumCollations(LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS *ppResults);
Returns
A QueryResults object that contains one result set defined by these columns.

Remarks
EnumCollations is similar to the ListCollations method, and is used in conjunction with column-level collation. After using EnumCollations to enumerate the collation names, an application can set the Collation property to use a specific collation with a Database2 or UserDefinedFunction object.
Note
If an application calls EnumCollations on an instance of 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.
