COLLATION
Specifies that the collation sequence in effect for the session is to be changed.
The COLLATION option defines the name for a collation sequence that determines the ordering of data characters during comparison operations and when sorting data in response to a SELECT query that includes an ORDER BY or WITH … BY clause.
You can override the COLLATION attribute during any session by running an appropriate SET SESSION COLLATION request (see SET SESSION COLLATION).
collation_sequence
Name of the collation sequence to be established for the session as one of the following:
  • ASCII
  • CHARSET_COLL
  • EBCDIC
  • HOST
  • JIS_COLL
  • MULTINATIONAL
For details about collation, see Collation Option Usage and MULTINATIONAL Collation.
