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?
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?
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?
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!
My SQL Server 2000 does not use the accent insensitive collation setting(collation containing _AI) in full-text serches:While SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE <column> LIKE '%a%' returns 'Mäuse',SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE CONTAINS(*, 'a') does not.Setting 'default full-text language' to neutral (0) does not help.How can I make full-text searches accent insensitive?Thanks for any ideas!Matthias
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 have a table in MSSQL 2005 Express that stores user data. I would like to maintain the cases of user names, but I need to insure that they are not duplicated using different cases. Is there a way that I can create a constraint to enforce this?
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.
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?
I don't quite understand what I am asking for so hopefully this is enough to get an answer or some explanation.
Using SQL2014 I need to use a Chinese collation. I have been told that even with a Chinese collation Latin characters are there. Is there a Chinese collation that will provide Latin case-insensitive behavior?
Does anyone know how to how to performance case-insensitive search onXML data type in SQLServer 2005? Or I have to convert all the xml datato lower case before I store it?Thanks in advance.John
I am using sql server 2008 r2 on my end. I have created a database named testDB. I have a lot of tables with some log tables in this. some tables have contain lack of records in log table.
So my purpose is that I want to fix the table size of those tables(log tables) and want to move records in other database table placed on another location. So my database has no problem.
is there any way to make such above steps which I want for my database?
Is there already built any such functionality in sql server?
I have an SQL Server 2000 database. There is a table for User Logins. I want the query to be executed as case sensitive. I mean if the database has a username like "USER1" and the user enters his username as "user1" then the login should fail.
So, Is there some way I can make SQL case sensitive? Please help
I transferred data from Oracle to sql server 2005. Now what i want is to make data in the tables case-sensitive .(it has to be data inside the tables only and not table and column names). what i tried is :
alter database test collate Latin1_General_CS_AS
But to my horror it made the tables name case-sensitive . Plz help me out asap.
Hi, SELECT UserID, UserName, Password, PublisherID, CurrencyFROM [User]WHERE (Password = 'Anitha') I am using the above mentioned it is working but int the password field i had given it as anitha. Now the querry is retriving the record for anitha, it shouldnot happen. The querry should retrive the record of anitha only for where condition anitha and not for Anitha or ANITHA etc.. Thanks Vishwanath
I am looking for a Sql query to verify the inserted values from one table(in CSV file) with another table(in sql database)
For example: I have below Values column that is present in once CSV file, after my data migration the values get stored in Results table under Message column.
I need to very whether values(1X,1Y) are inserted in Message record "successfully inserted value 1X"
Values (CSV) 1X 1Y
Results Table(SQL) CreatedDate                  Message 2015-08-04 08:45:29.203  successfully inserted value 1X 2015-08-04 08:44:29.103  TEst pass 2015-08-04 08:43:29.103  successfully inserted value 1X 2015-08-04 08:42:29.203  test point 2015-08-04 08:35:29.203  successfully inserted value 1Y 2015-08-04 08:30:29.203  Test Pass 2015-08-04 08:28:29.203  successfully inserted value 1Y
If all values are inserted:
Output: All values from values table are inserted successfully Total count of values inserted: 2 If only few values are inserted, example only 1X from Values table is inserted in Message
Example: Results Table CreatedDate    Message 2015-08-04 08:45:29.203  successfully inserted value 1X 2015-08-04 08:44:29.103  TEst pass 2015-08-04 08:43:29.103  successfully inserted value 1X 2015-08-04 08:42:29.203  test point
Output: All values from values are not inserted successfully in result table. Total count of values inserted: 1 Missing Values not inserted in results table are: 1Y
I am trying to find a solution in order to make a pivot dynamically. One of my department charge every month all the sales figure in one table and I need to pick up the last two months archived in order to make a pivot and to see if something is changed or not. What I am trying to do is to have these last two months dynamically. create table forum (customer varchar (50), nmonth varchar(6), tot int, archived datetime)
insert into forum values ('Pepsi','201503',100,'2015-04-28'), ('Pepsi','201504',200,'2015-04-28'), ('Texaco','201503',600,'2015-04-28'), ('Texaco','201504',300,'2015-04-28'),
[code]...
As you can see I have to change manually the values underlined every months but it's a temporary solution. How can I set up the last two months in a dynamic way?
I have persons who speaks multiple languages and they are in one table, each row is added if he/she speaks multiple languages. Instead I want to add additional columns and load the data.(what I have shown in the desired output)

Desired output
name language1 language2 language3 language4 language5 language6 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ron  english  french   spanish andy english  hindi Kate englishÂ
Given a table that has three columns that together create a key and two columns that together define NameValue pairs, how can the difference between instances of values be calculated and displayed?One table is used to contain periodic dumps of data from various sources. Because this is an early stage of development for the software project instead of having explicit columns that contain specific data the table contains name/value pairs. This allows the software to export anything to the database table. When this data is imported, earch row shares the same key (three columns containing a machine type, serial number and a timestamp), a name that identifies the data and a string that contains the actual data. While this arrangement makes it trivial to support the addition of any data that the software developers want to export, it makes it less obvious as to how to generate reports.Let's make an example. Lets assume that there are two vending machines, each of which has just 3 snacks and each of which generates two separate reports.
Type Sn Timestamp Name Value A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 Snick 5 A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 Mars 10 A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 MandM 0B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 Snick 1 B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 Mars 9 B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 MandM 0A 1 2015-08-21 09:12 Snick 11 A 1 2015-08-21 09:12 Mars 18

So, the names of the values become the report's columns. The reports are sorted by timestamp, then by type, then by serial number.The value associated with the previous row that shares the same name is subtracted from the value of the next row in which the same name occurs and that becomes the displayed value in the report.
