Hi,
I use a SQL Server 2000.
Is there a chance to change the case sensitivity option for a running instance of sql server?
I know, during the install process, i can activate the case sensitivity. But can I change this option on an already installed server (to case sensitiv or back)?
Thanks
I 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 am wondering if T SQL in SQL Server 2005 is case sensitive.
I running am running a query in a stored procedure whchi compares a passed in value with that in a field in the database, as such, is their a need to do thisSELECT * FROM table WHERE UPPER(column_name) = UPPER(@var) or will this return the same resultsSELECT * FROM table WHERE column_name = @var
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable case sensitivity without having to reinstall SQL Server?

Hello !
I have two questions:
1) is it possible to make case sensetive researche in SQL-Server?
like : SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE myColumn = "This" [and not "this"]
2) is it possible to make case sensetive unique indexes? Allowing to add "This" and "this" in the same indexed column?
Thanks a lot for any feedback!

Hi I have two questions about case sensitivity;
1. Do most people write their queries with UPPERCASE keywords or is that only for the textbooks. Personally I find it a hassle, My little finger aches because it is always on and off the SHIFT key
2. I noticed that when I did the following query
-----------------------------
use AdventureWorks
go
Select * employee
-----------------------------
I get an 'invalid object' message
But if I use;
--------------------------
use AdventureWorks
go
Select * Employee
--------------------
It works. SO obviously the query is case sensitive.
Did this use to be the case with SQL 2000. I don't seem to remember having to be careful about case.
THANKS
Is SQL server defaults to case insensitive? I am sure there are ways toinstall case sensitive SQL server instance but coming from Sybase(which is always case sensitive) case insensitivity is something new tome (it requires coding change etc).Besides, is there any option I can set to turn on case sensitivity or Iam stuck with it? (I can not reinstall SQL server).Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI scripted a function to a sql file, transferred the file to a different machine and when I run it it fails. It turns out that it thinks @result does not exist because I delcared @Result. Changing it to uppercase R resolves the problem. I usually keep my case sensitivity but missed this one. This is the first time I've ever seen sql care about the casing though! Is it a setting?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I've come across a bit of an issue, I'm testing software delivered by another company that includes an SQL2005 database. I've rolled back their live database on my developer database, but my server has a binary collation set as default server collation.
Because of this (or so I think) all variable/table/etc names in any SQL code are case sensitive, even when called in the context of a database with a case insensitive collation. As an example, when I run the following code on my developer computer I get an error, on their live server I don't.DECLARE @number INT
SET @Number = 1
Because of this I am getting alot of errors from their code, since their entire application has differing capitalization usage from page to page. Is there any way around this or do I need to reinstall the SQL Server on my computer to set a different collation?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Is there a quick way toavoid the editing?Something like ignoring the case in one statement?Thanks in advance, your advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have a case-insensitive sort order on my SQL7, NT4, SP1,2 installation. However, there are times when I want to do case-sensitive search ciriteria.
Is there something like the pseudo code:
SET SORT ORDER CASE-SENSITIVE ON
SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = 'Black'
SET SORT ORDER CASE-SENSITIVE OFF
..that doesn't return 'BLACK'
thanks in advance for your time

I have a SQL Server database hosted with a web hosting company. TheSQL Server was clearly set up to be case sensitive, however, I wantthis particular database to be case-insensitive.I have searched high and low, the best suggestion I can find is toreinstall SQL Server and select case-insensitive. But since this isthe web host's SQL, that isn't an option here.With default language I can use the sp_defaultlanguage to change toBritish settings (for example). Is there something similar I can useto make just this database case insensitive?--Popular uprising?http://www.blairfacedlies.org/statue.htmcaptain(underscore)flack(squirlything)hotmail(you know what)com

Hi, is there a way how to enable / disable logging on web merge synchronization into the file websync.log? The file exists in the ISAPI folder, on some machines there are some messages, on others there is nothing. There are Timeout messages on the client during synchronization and we need to find where is the problem, if it is on the server side or if it is a network error or something else.

Hi All - I am using OpenXML to insert data into SQL Server 2005. All works okay except for the fact that in my XML I have an attribute tag and elements as follows.<Location> <Place City = "LA" State = "CA"> <Place city = "NY" State = "NY"> <Place City = "St. Louis" state = "MO"></Location> If you notice in the above code, the 2nd city NY has element tag "city" in lower case and others are "City" with a Upper Case "C" same for state in case of MO which is lower case and others are Upper Cases..Now I understand that XML is case sensitive. What should I do if I have XML files in the above format with inconsistent element tags? Because if I run the below code.. using OpenXML...Insert Into TableXSelect *FROM OPENXML (@DocHandle, '/Location/Place', 1) WITH (City varchar(255) '@City', State varchar(255) '@State') ox Then in the above scenario it won't insert values for city "NY" and state "MO" since both have lower case elements tags and in my OpenXML I have specified as @City and @State with Upper Case "C" and "S" respectively. Now in such a scenario what can one do? Any thoughts is to how I can also grab value for lower case "city" and "state" in the above XML. Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks a billion.Regards- web

So I have been unfortunate enough to inherit a whole estate of sql servers running a collation of Latin1_General_BIN.
I have a batch of maintenance and monitoring scripts that I want to implement on these servers. However I seem to have problems compiling the stored procs as the case of the column names varies throughout the script and table definitions.
Ok I know I could recode them, but is there way to overide the case sensitivity in insert and update statements so they dont have to be recoded?

Is there a way to turn on/off a given logger dynamically across the board, and still enable the logging of task specific events, like "ExecuteSQLExecutingQuery" from the ExecuteSQL task or "WMIDataReaderOperation" from the WMI Data Reader task?
The use case is one where multiple loggers are defined in a package (custom and stock) and I'd like to toggle the execution tracing on a per logger basis.
I realize "logger toggling" can be done programmatically, but I'm wondering if that's the only way to accomplish the objective.
Hello,
I am a beginner in SQL Server Reporting Services.
My report has three parameters; all with the same characteristics (combobox (multiple values, datatype: String, Available values: from query, default value:null).
When i am in the Preview Tab of the Report, the combo box of the first parameter is enabled, the combo box of the second parameter is disabled.
Once i select a value for the first parameter, the combo box of the second parameter becomes enabled.
I would like to select a value for the the second parameter in spite i did not select a value for the first parameter.
I do not find a solution in the properties of the parameters.
How can I do it ?
Thanks and sorry for my english
