DATABASEPROPERTYEX
618
The DATABASEPROPERTYEX function is basically a superset of DATABASEPROPERTY, and also returns
the setting for the specified database and property name. The syntax is pretty much just the same as
DATABASEPROPERTY and is as follows:
DATABASEPROPERTYEX(‘’, ‘’)
DATABASEPROPERTYEX just has a few more properties available, including:
❑ Collation — Returns the default collation for the database (remember, collations can also be
overridden at the column level).
