Doing A Case-sensitive Query In A Case-insensitive Database
May 29, 2008
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?
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 ????
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?
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!
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?
How do you do a case sensitive searching without having the database case sensitive or is this even possible. There are times we want to perform case sensitive searching and case insensitive searching.
I found this article, but is that the suggested way. seems a bit bad, but if it is the way I am willing to use it.
I have a SQL7 database that was installed as case-insensitive./* Sort Order = 52, Case-insensitive dictionary sort order. */This database contains a table that has a varchar column which containsdata such as:'JUDICIARY; EDUCATION; Subcommittee on Justice and Judiciary''Subcommittee on Justice and Judiciary; TRANSPORTATION''Subcommittee on Cities; JUDICIARY; TRANSPORTATION'I want to write a SELECT statement that gives me only those rows (1stand 3rd) that have JUDICIARY (not Judiciary) in the varchar column.This is SQL7 so I can't use COLLATE.I triedSELECT mycolFROM mytableWHERE mycol LIKE '%JUDICIARY%'AND CAST(SUBSTRING(mycol ,PATINDEX('%JUDICIARY%',mycol),LEN('JUDICIARY')) AS VARBINARY) = CAST('JUDICIARY' AS VARBINARY)But this leaves out the row with JUDICIARY and Judiciary in it (onlyreturns 3rd row).Any suggestions?
S/W Technologies : C#.Net 2005, ASP.Net 2005, SQL Server 2005 Greetings everyone, Heres my code for login verification, which is written in the login button click. SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select uid,pass from UserRegistration where uid='" + txtuname.Text + "' and pass='" + txtpass.Text + "'", con); con.Open(); dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); if (dr.HasRows) { <code......> } Now, my problem is, the SQL Server 2005 is fetching rows without checking case. For e.g. if I enter a password as "MYSTERY" or "mystery" which is stored as "Mystery" in the database. The datareader shows positive in HasRows property. So, Can someone suggest me how to fetch case sensitive data from SQL SERVER 2005. Thanks.
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
selectLogin.CommandText = "SELECT sid, type from STAFF Where sid= '" + txtId.Text + "' and pwd= '" + txtPwd.Text + "' ";
//open connectin for execution sqlConnect.Open();
//instantiate the SqlDataReader reader SqlDataReader loginReader = selectLogin.ExecuteReader();
//try and catch SqlException error try { if(loginReader.Read()) {
// check whether the user is the role of administrator or operator // I use GetValue(1) i.e. type field from the above select statement // if "O' then go operator page, else go to administrator page. if (loginReader.GetValue(1).ToString().ToUpper().Equals("O")) { Server.Transfer("//SMS/LoginUser/SuccessLoginOper.aspx");
} else if (loginReader.GetValue(1).ToString().ToUpper().Equals("A")) { Server.Transfer("//SMS/LoginUser/SuccessLoginAdmin.aspx"); }
}
else { //clear content of textbox and display error message txtId.Text=""; txtPwd.Text=""; lblLoginFail.Visible = true; lblLoginFail.Text="Login Failed!<br>" + "Ensure that ID and Password are correct!"; }
} catch (SqlException se) { if (se.Number == 17) { lblLoginFail.Visible = true; lblLoginFail.Text = "Could not connect to the database"; }
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?
