Get-DbaAvailableCollation.ps1

function Get-DbaAvailableCollation {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Return available collations for a given SQL Server

    .DESCRIPTION
        Returns the list of collations available on each SQL Server.
        Only the connect permission is required to get this information.

    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. Only connect permission is required.

    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).

        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.

        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
