(SQL server) Collation when creating a database

Hi @Zaid-Ajaj,

When creating a new ThrowawayDatabase I need to specify a custom collation for the entire database, so my required SQL script is as follows:

CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabase] COLLATE MyCollation

Currently a workaround is possible by running this script after the ThrowawayDatabase has been created, but wouldn’t it be nicer if the collation could be specified already when creating the database?

ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] COLLATE MyCollation

If you think it’s a good feature to have I could help with a PR. I have already considered an option how it can be done. My first idea was adding a new optional string parameter, but unfortunately it results in the overload problem of the Create method.

Therefore, I think the only option would be adding a new class (e.g. ThrowawayDatabaseOptions) with all the required parameters (currently DatabaseNamePrefix and Collation), but it’s a breaking change of the API.

That worked!! 😍 Just ran all tests and all 31 of them passed ✔️

I don’t mind adding proper unit tests, I just couldn’t find the time to actually do it 😅

I will do it then 😎
