After all the pain I've been going through with code pages and collation, I was asked how, when sql server does it's joins and predicate searches, how does it actual (internals now) know the an "A" = "a" in an insensitive search?
I didn't have the answer.
Damn, Now I really have to pick up Kelans book.
How can I change my T-SQL text editor from text sensitive to text insensitive?

We 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 ????

I am curious with using replication in sql server 2005 one way from db A (source) replicating to db B(destination) in which db A has a collation of CS and db B has a collation of CI. Will there be any problems with this scenario? Thanks in advance!
View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday I received a response to my CI/CS Collation problem and therecommendation was to try and restore a CI Collation database to a CSCollation database. After creating a blank CS database a full restore(Force restore over existing database) does change the Collation toCI. I'm unsure as to how I can restore without changing theCollation. Any suggestions?

We have an in-house set of databases created by a member of staff who left the organisation in circumstances that mean he will not respond to queries relating to his work here. The programs he produced whilst in our employ are compiled and we have no access to the code, or the tools that he used (don't ask).
The programs allow the user to limit views based on various fields, but not the most useful field, a "memo" type field containing a textual description of work requests.
I only have Delphi 7 to use for the program development and have been using ADO, but my problem is I need to perform a case-insensitive search of a varchar(max) column based on text entered by user, but have been unsuccessful using LIKE and UPPER (which it appears you cannot use with a varchar).
Can anyone provide suggestions for what I am sure is a rather mundane and easy task for all of you.
Please note that I have only the Delphi, and no direct access to the SQL management tools.
Many thanks

Hi:
When I import data from multiple excel files, the Excel source gives validation errors if the case of a column name changes.
How can I make my excel source Case Insensitive?

Hello Experts,
I tried to retreive an input column using GetVirtualInputColumnByName, to map it with output, it gave error. I found that it is because the value passed bstrName parameter was in different case. say for example in the column it is "ColNo1" where as in the GetVirtualInputColumnByName i used "Colno1".
Can anyone tell, Is there anyway to find the column in a case in-sensitive way?
Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDear everyone,
I am doing Login webform (C# .NET web application) with SQL Server 2000.
The staff table is to store authenticated user info.
But when I test it, I found that the password can be case insensitive, i.e. 'A0001' should be correct password, but 'a0001' can allow login.
Could anyone tell me how to solve this problem??
Thanks you very much!!

Hi,

How to make case sensitive of a database.

I just created my first Asp.net app. I had to install it to a corporate server. What I found is that the corporate SQL Server 2000 was case sensitive in the stored procedures while my installation was not!
How can I set my SQL Server 2000 to be case sensitive as well?
Hi all,
There is a requirement to perform a case-sensitive search
on a column in table. The installation of SQL Server is
case-insensitive...
Eg.: select * from t1 where c1 = 'abcd'
should return only rows where c1 = 'abcd' and not 'ABCD'
or 'Abcd' or any other.
I understand that this can be done using the CONTAINS
predicate using Full-text indexing.
select * from t1 where CONTAINS(c1,'abcd')
Is this the right solution to the problem? Has someone
had experience implementing this?
Thanks in advance.

How do you set the case sensitive option in SQL 2000? If l already have data in the database whats the best way of doing this.l want the selects on the database to be case sensitive?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm a bit flummoxed on this one (doesn't take much these days). We have a test SQL database and a prod SQL database configured with the same user name and a complex password.
The password consists of letters and numbers, mixed upper and lower.
What I am seeing, however, is that SQL will permit access even if the user gets the case wrong on the letters. One letter, two letters, all letters. It doesn't matter.
I thought SQL passwords were case sensitive; was I wrong?

hmscott
Edit: I should add that I am running SQL 2000, SP3a (hotfix 0818) on Windows 2000 SP4 and that SQL is clustered on two servers in Active/Passive mode (this applies to both Test and Prod).

Hi,I have yet to find an answer for this:I want to do a case-sensitive query using "like" on a table in sql 7.Currently, "like" performs case-insensitive query.I understand that you can use the following query in sql 2000:SELECT *FROM table_xWHERE col1 collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS LIKE '% AVE %'However, is there a similar method for sql 7?Any answer would be appreciated.Thanks,Jay
