GOAL:
What is a Collation
FIX:
The rules used to control how character strings in a character set compare with each other. Each character set specifies a collating sequence that defines relative values of each character for comparing, merging, and sorting character strings. In addition, storage systems can define additional collations that SQL statements specify with the COLLATE clause in column definitions, column references, and character-string references.
