Finding the default collation

If you do not explicitly specify a collation when creating a database, a default collation is used. The default collation depends on the operating system you are working on.

To find the default collation for your machine

1. Start Interactive SQL. Connect to the sample database.

2. Enter the following query:

   SELECT PROPERTY( 'DefaultCollation' )

   The default collation is returned.

   For more information about this collation, see Choosing collations.
