#82 Collation not supported: Persian_100_CI_AS

[Anonymous]

When connecting to a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 database with the collation set to "Persian_100_CI_AS", an exception occurs that prevents connection to be established. When changing the collation of the same DB to something else (like Latin), everything works fine. Here's the exception stack trace:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: The USE database statement failed because the database collation Persian_100_CI_AS is not recognized by older client drivers. Try upgrading the client operating system or applying a service update to the database client software, or use a different collation. See SQL Server Books Online for more information on changing collations.
