Change Case Sensitivity After Database Set Up
Jul 20, 2005
I have a SQL Server database hosted with a web hosting company. The
SQL Server was clearly set up to be case sensitive, however, I want
this particular database to be case-insensitive.
I have searched high and low, the best suggestion I can find is to
reinstall SQL Server and select case-insensitive. But since this is
the web host's SQL, that isn't an option here.
With default language I can use the sp_defaultlanguage to change to
British settings (for example). Is there something similar I can use
to make just this database case insensitive?

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 require to change the case sensitivity of a server. If I run rebuildm (changing the sensitivity to the desired value) will that not mean that I won't be able to reattach the databases?
Can anyone advise please.

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.

I 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?

Hello 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.

Hi,I believe my SQL server was configured as Case sensitivity. I have anumber of stored procedures which were moved from a non-Casesensitivity SQL server. Because of the Case sensitivity, I have to doa lot of editing in those stored procedures. 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

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

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?

SqlConnection Con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True"); Con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT [ID], [Name], [Date] FROM [Table1] ORDER BY [Date]", Con); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds,"MyTable");
GridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["MyTable"]; GridView1.DataBind();
But I have a question , when i change the [Table1] to [table1] (With lowercase T) , i receive the following errormessage:
Invalid object name 'table1'.

Example:
Select StoreId from tblStores
S1
S2
S3
S4
I want to display a more friendly name. I have been using a case statement:
select case
WHEN storeId = 'S1' THEN 'NY Store'
WHEN storeId = 'S2' THEN 'CA Store'
...
end AS StoreName
If I am doing a simple 1:1 mapping like that, is there a better way than using a case statement (without creating/modifying tables)?

This is on the uniqueidentifier column. Both tables are on the same database and have the same COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS.
But my plain update and insert results are all upper case.
Then when I tried to force by using
Insert (cols1, cols2) Values (source.col1, source.col2) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS
and
Update set target.col1=source.col1, target.col2=source.col2 target.col1=source.col1 COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS
I got
Msg 447, Level 16, State 0, Line 32
Expression type uniqueidentifier is invalid for COLLATE clause.

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 ????

This is kind of a big generic question, if anyone could even just point me to an article or white paper on this it would be helpful, but I can't find an answer. I do work for a international company that currently does all in english, but is looking to support more languages.
What exactly do the Accent and Kanatype Sensitivity tags in RDL refer to, and how would/when should they be used?
Thanks for any help

Hi all,
I have a data mining model that has a binary dependent variable (let's say 'Yes' and 'No'). I noticed that the model is very sensitive to the distribution of the binary dependent variable. I could not come up with an explaination. I know the model is not over/under fits and multicollinearity is not an issue. And I have enough data size to train the model.
I would expect some sensitivity but not to this extend:
Yes % in training data
Yes % in the prediction results
with DT
with LR
with NN
30.0%
6.0%
11.0%
14.0%
35.0%
12.0%
15.0%
24.0%
37.5%
20.0%
23.0%
27.0%
40.0%
28.0%
33.0%
36.0%
50.0%
43.0%
52.0%
61.0%
DT - Decision Trees
LR - Logistic Regression
NN - Neural Networks
And to make things more interesting, although the precision (% of correct 'Yes's ), true positive ratio and false positive ratio is changing; the overall accuracy (and therefore the score in the mining accuracy chart) remains almost same.
If anyone has an idea it would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Afsin

How to maintain Database User Permissions when copying the Database from One SQL Server to another(Either through backups or sp_detach). The reason is the login sid is different in the target server and as a result the database user is not able to map to the login existing in the target server. The only way I can correct this is through dropping and recreating the user's again and assign the permissions, or change the system catalog - sysusers to remap the login to the user in the database.
I do not wish to use the sp_addalias as it is available only for backward compatibility.
Is there a better way of doing this ?
