1
New collations for SQL Server 2005; these collations use the Windows 2003 sorting tables and,
therefore, support supplementary characters. Both BIN and BIN2 binary sorts are supported for the
new 90 Windows collations.

2
Use Pingyin or Pronunciation for sorting.

3
Major change to sorting behavior; use the new default collation, Indic_General_90_CI_AS (Unicode
only).

4
The Hindi collation is deprecated in SQL Server 2005 because the Windows 2000 sorting table is
used in this SQL Server release. The collation still exists in the server, but it will not be supported in
a future SQL Server release, and it does not show up in ::fn_helpcollations().

5
The Hindi and Lithuanian_Classic collations are deprecated in SQL Server 2005. These collations
still exist in the server, but they will not be supported in a future SQL Server release, and they do
not show up in ::fn_helpcollations().
