(I’m running SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition on Windows 10).
#MYSQL COLLATE CODE#
On my system, 894 collations share this code page. The SELECT statement returns the value 1252, which is the code page identifier. The first is the name of the collation, in this case, Modern_Spanish_100_CS_AS, and the second is the CodePage property. SELECT COLLATIONPROPERTY ( 'Modern_Spanish_100_CS_AS', 'CodePage' ) To view the code page associated with a collation, you can use the COLLATIONPROPERTY system function, as shown in the following example: Unicode-only collations do not require code pages because they conform to the universal encoding model. The collation must point to a code page supported by the underlying operating system however, multiple collations can point to the same code page if they share the same character set. Each collation that supports non-Unicode data is associated with a code page that defines the bit patterns for the non-Unicode characters. Most collations support both Unicode and non-Unicode character data, although some support only Unicode data.

For Unicode types, the character bit patterns conform to international standards that define a double-byte encoding scheme for mapping most of the world’s written languages, ensuring that the same bit pattern is always associated with the same character, regardless of the underlying environment. In SQL Server, you can configure a character column with a Unicode data type ( nchar, nvarchar, or ntext) or non-Unicode data type ( char, varchar, or text). On the other hand, many Asian languages include thousands of characters and require a double-byte character set, which supports up to 65,536 bit patterns.Ĭollations are intricately tied to the data types assigned to character columns. For example, European languages require only a single-byte character set, which supports up to 256 bit patterns. SQL Server stores character data using either one byte or two bytes per character, depending on the column’s data type and assigned collation. The first is to provide a character set that defines the bit pattern associated with each character. SQL Server includes a large set of collations for handling the language and regional differences that come with supporting users and applications in different parts of the world.Įach collation serves two purposes.
