Case Insensitivity
Jul 23, 2005I have a SQL 2000 database. I have a ASP.NET web app that I use to
search this database. I need to make my data case insensitive,
espcially my last name column. How do I change this?
Thanks,

Case Insensitivity Is On Server Wide: Tables Render Case Sensative...
Jan 6, 2005Hello:
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?
Case Insensitivity In MS SQL
Dec 2, 2004After reading up, I realised that MS SQL can be set to be case sensitive and case insensitive.
This is done at installation/setup time. My MS SQL is set up to be case sensitive. Is it possible to change this to case insensitive?
Although, what I would really need is just for a particular database (or possibly tables) to be case insensitive and for others to stay case sensitive.
Is it possible to create a database or tables to be case insensitive within a case sensitive MS SQL?
Thank you,
ludmann

HELP! Case Insensitive Database On Case Sensitive Server
Aug 17, 2005We need to install CI database on CS server, and there are some issueswith stored procedures.Database works and have CI collation (Polish_CI_AS). Server hascoresponding CS collation (Polish_CS_AS). Most queries and proceduresworks but some does not :-(We have table Customer which contains field CustomerID.Query "SELECT CUSTOMERID FROM CUSTOMER" works OK regardless ofcharacter case (we have table Customer not CUSTOMER)Following TSQL generate error message that must declare variable @id(in lowercase)DECLARE @ID INT (here @ID in uppercase)SELECT @id=CustomerID FROM Customer WHERE .... (here @id in lowercase)I know @ID is not equal to @id in CS, but database is CI and tablenames Customer and CUSTOMER both works. This does not work forvariables.I suppose it is tempdb collation problem (CS like a server collationis). I tried a property "Identifier Case Sensitivity" for myconnection, but it is read only and have value 8 (Mixed) by default -this is OK I think.DO I MISS SOMETHING ????

View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem Using Result From CASE In Another CASE Statement
Nov 5, 2007I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.
Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:
Code Block...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...
This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.
This is what I'd like to do:
Code Block
...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE shipment_status
WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...
This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.
Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?
Thanks,
Jason
Case Sensitivity When A User Enters Data Into The Database. How To Deal With Case Sensitivity.
Sep 6, 2007I am working on a C#/asp.net web application. The application has a text box that allows a user to enter a name. The name is then saved to the database.
Before the name is saved to the database, I need to be able to check if the name already exists in the database. The problem here is that what if the name is in the database as "JoE ScMedLap" and somoene enters the name as "Joe Schmedlap" which already exists in the database,but just differs in case.
In other words how do deal with case sensitiviy issues.

I have just though of doing IF...ELSE statements to keep it simply, but this query needs to run in a relative quick time frame. I guess my question is, is IF...ELSE faster or is it faster to use a CASE statement?

Bit of background on this query... daily report that tells me each product we sell that we were unable to supply to our customers.
What I need to include is the earliest unfulfilled purchase order and the date that purchase order is due for delivery into our warehouse.
I've used a case statement with MIN to get the earliest unfulfilled PO (t9.docnum), but I have been unable to get the due date (t9.docduedate) to show correctly... it just gives me the due dates of every unfulfilled purchase order, and doesn't link the purchase order returned by the case statement. Any ideas? Thanks!

My question is how do I use a case inside a case statement in sql. i.e., when case is '2' .,for below line.,
when '2' then (SELECT EMPLOYEE_NAME FROM Users where EMPLOYEE_TITLE = 'DVP' AND EMPLOYEE_DIVISION = 'EIS')
I need to check first EMPLOYEE_DIVISION..If its 'FIN',then i need to execute below query,
(SELECT EMPLOYEE_NAME FROM Users where EMPLOYEE_TITLE = 'FVP')else i need to execute,
when '2' then (SELECT EMPLOYEE_NAME FROM Users where EMPLOYEE_TITLE = 'DVP' AND EMPLOYEE_DIVISION = 'EIS')
So i have to use 2 tables..one is eC_Master and another Users. Can i use like below.
select A.eC_ID,
case A.eC_FormID
when '1' then (SELECT EMPLOYEE_NAME FROM Users where EMPLOYEE_TITLE = 'ITMGR')
when '2' then
case B.EMPLOYEE_DIVISION

i get a syntax error re the CASE and = if i remove it!!! any ideas? also would i not have to declare the two fields i have created? SQLQuality? and SQLCoverQuality?

Feb 16, 2006I want to pass four variables to a stored procedure all which default to NULL
Example:
CREATE PROCEDURE spSOMETHING

@varB nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@varC nvarchar(50)=NULL,
@varD nvarchar(50)=NULL)
AS

--IF varA IS NOT NULL
-- SELECT * FROM table WHERE varA = @varA
-- elseif varB IS NOT NULL
-- SELECT * FROM table where varB = @varB
-- elseif varC IS NOT NULL
-- SELECT * FROM table where varC = @varC
-- else
-- SELECT * FROM table where varD = @varD
What I've done is create 4 stored procedures and I'll call each one going through a daisychain of IF...ELSE statements (there is no actual ELSEIF in the code, as I don't know if this is valid in T-SQL). I'd like to just have the code from the other 4 stored procedurs in this one, conditionally selecting WHERE clauses. I'd even like to be able to select multiple if possible (i.e. WHERE varA=@varA AND varD=@varD if varA and varD are not null and varB and varC are not passsed).
Any ideas?
