function Test-DbaDatabaseCollation {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Compares Database Collations to Server Collation
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Compares Database Collations to Server Collation
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
            Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER Detailed
            Output all properties, will be deprecated in 1.0.0 release.
 
        .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.

        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaDatabaseCollation -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a
 
            Returns server name, database name and true/false if the collations match for all databases on sqlserver2014a.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaDatabaseCollation -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database db1, db2
 
            Returns inforamtion for the db1 and db2 databases on sqlserver2014a.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaDatabaseCollation -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a, sql2016 -Exclude db1
 
            Returns information for database and server collations for all databases except db1 on sqlserver2014a and sql2016.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Get-DbaRegisteredServer -SqlInstance sql2016 | Test-DbaDatabaseCollation
 
            Returns db/server collation information for every database on every server listed in the Central Management Server on sql2016.
