HRESULT GetCollationName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

HRESULT SetCollationName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Remarks

If CollationName is not set, the default collation is used. When 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" are returned.
