The collation type that will be used when creating new
tables in the database. Consult the database server
documentation for the list of supported types.

<para>
Collations control how text is sorted and matched
by the database engine. Versions of MySQL earlier than v8.0
should use <userinput>utf8mb4_general_ci</userinput>, while
those using v8.0 or later may find it beneficial to switch to
<userinput>utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci</userinput>, which provides
support for more up-to-date Unicode standards. For more
information, see:
