Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-2972:
----------------------------------------

Kathey, the SQL spec does not have specific blurb about user defined functions 
and collations. But applying Section 6.1, syntax rules 3b) and 16) for 
character string types (which is where user defined functions with return type 
of character string type fall into), the collation type of return of user 
defined functions is implementation defined. 

In the thread titled "some comments on collation wiki page", if you got Dan's 
comment 
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-some-comments-on-collation-wiki-page-p9813465.html 
and then my comment 
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-some-comments-on-collation-wiki-page-p9815841.html, 
that is where we decided Derby's implementation behavior for user defined 
functions to be to pick up the collation of the schema in which the function is 
defined. Hope this helps provide a background info for you.
