I need to delete a record from a SQL server database table. I need to target a specific column with a query that looks like the following:
delete from NameTable where Name = 'Barbosa'
The problem is that their are two other records with the name spelled similarly, only differing by case sensitivity. Like as follows:
'Barbosa'
'barbosa'
'BarBosa'
Is sql case sensitive? Will my Sql delete statement only delete the record with the word 'Barbosa' in that column. Or will it delete all of the records with the names
Hi,I am wondering how do I write a query that will take case sensitive into consideration. For example, I have "ABCD", "abcD", ABcd", "AbCd" in a table. I want to retrieve "AbCd" only from the table. This is the sql statement that I have:sqlSelect = "SELECT * FROM [al_table] WHERE [alphabet]= @alpha"Dim selectCmd As New SqlCommand(sqlSelect, myConnection) selectCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@alpha", "AbCd") From what I have it will return all those value. But that is not what I want. Thanks
Hi ALL, How could you make the SQL Select statement query case sensitive, what i mean is i have this select statement below ... Select * From Staff WHERE Staff.Staff_ID = 'KabirJ' AND Staff.Password = 'KaBir1!' and a data row in the staff table that is the following information Staff_ID Password Kabirj kabir1! Since the cases in database is different then in the string provided, i want sql to return me nothing, How do i go about and achieve that??????????? Thanks Kabir
Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to search against a SQL Server 2000 using a case insensitive search when SQL Server 2000 is a case sensitive installation?
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 working in a SQL server database that is configured to be case-insensetive but I would like to override that for a specific query. How can I make my query case-sensitive with respect to comparison operations?
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!
Yesterday 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?

I want to change my database character set and I use database SQL Server 6.5. At the first time I install database, I use charset type to case sensitive. Now, I want to change this charset from case sensitive to un case sensitive.
I hope somebody want to trasnfer knowledge about it. Thanks for attention.
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?
Our database is configured as case insensitive. I need to run a query which is case sensitive. Is there a query option or function I can use to compare, taking upper/lower case into consideration?
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?
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'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?
Regards,
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
Using ADO 2.7, what is the best way to perform a case-sensitive filter? I have seen on other forums where folks have said that the StrComp function can be used inside of the .Filter method, but I haven't been able to get that to work. I am using VB 6 and ADO 2.7, and have a need to perform case sensitive filters. I know I am not the ony one who has needed to do this...
In the process of migrating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, an application that auto-generates reports suddenly started failing. It turned out that the usernames and passwords were being up-cased, and SQL Server authentication on the 2005 box was rejecting the logons. When the app was changed to leave credentials in whatever case they were received, the reports all ran successfully.
Is that case-sensitivity a function of the collation schema on the database? On the entire SQL Server installation?
Either way, how can it be changed to be case-insensitive for such credentials?
I have an application that at the begining a user will login with a user name and password which is stored in the database. The SQL statement is as follows:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "'";
For testing purposes I have set the password to the word test. The problem is, if the user enters in TEST or TeSt or TESt it will grant them access. How do I set it to force the correct case?
I am using a PIVOT to count the number of chunk for each block type: ex.: block_type, chunk a, <data> a, <data> b, <data> ...
My problem is that the block_type is case-sensitive, 'a' should not be counted as a 'A'. How can I take the case in consideration?
I've tried to plug a COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS statement but it doesn't seem to be supported... Something like: SELECT * FROM recv.test_Blocks PIVOT ( COUNT(chunk) FOR block_type COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS IN ([9.], a, B, h, q) ) AS pvt
Also something like: IN (a, A) returns an error: The column 'A' was specified multiple times for 'pvt'.
