== `sqlite/collation.hpp`
[#collation]
A https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html#collation[collation] is a comparison operator between two string-like values,
that allows ordering with a custom algorithm.
.Definition
[source,cpp]
----
// Create a collation
template<typename Func>
void create_collation(connection & conn, cstring_ref name, Func && func);
template<typename Func>
void create_collation(connection & conn, cstring_ref name, Func && func, system::error_code &ec);
// Delete an existing collation.
void delete_collation(connection & conn, cstring_ref name, system::error_code & ec);
void delete_collation(connection & conn, cstring_ref name);
----
conn:: A connection to the database in which to install the collation.
name:: The name of the collation.
func:: The function
The function must be callable with two `string_view` and return an int, indicating the comparison results.
.Example
[source,cpp]
----
// a case insensitive string omparison, e.g. from boost.urls
int ci_compare(string_view s0, string_view s1) noexcept;
extern sqlite::connection conn;
// Register the collation
sqlite::create_collation(conn, "iequal", &ci_compare);
// use the collation to get by name, case insensitively
conn.query("select first_name, last_name from people where first_name = 'Klemens' collate iequal;");
// order by names case insensitively
conn.query("select * from people order by last_name collate iequal asc;");
