EnumCollations Method
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The EnumCollations method returns all valid Microsoft SQL Server collation names.

Remarks
EnumCollationsis similar to the ListCollations method, and is used in conjunction with column-level collation. After using EnumCollations to enumerate the collation names, an application can set the Collation property to use a specific collation with a Database2 or UserDefinedFunction object.
Note
If an application calls EnumCollationson an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
