MySQL collation

MySQL collation defines the character set and Sorting rules. It specifies how characters are sorted, such as case-sensitive or case-insensitive.

PostgreSQL collation

PostgreSQL collation also defines the character set and collation, but it is more flexible, using the custom rules option.

NLS_SORT

NLS_SORT is a national language support sort in Oracle that takes into account language-specific collations, such as Chinese or Japanese.

SQL Server collation

SQL Server collation defines the character set, collation, and case-sensitivity rules.

BINARY

BINARY collation sorts data in binary order without regard to character set or language rules.

Selection Guide:

• Generally, use the default collation of the database.
• If custom sorting is required, use database type-specific collation.
• For binary data or text that does not require language-specific sorting, use the BINARY collation.
