How To Find A Field In Case Insensitive Using GetVirtualInputColumnByName
Jan 22, 2008
Hello Experts,
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?
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?
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 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
Select order_NO, shiptoname, Shiptoaddress, Shiptocity,shiptostate, shiptozip, EMAILaddress FROM orders;
my question is: If the email @ sign exist in the EMAILaddress column then I need to have a Y show in another column called EMAILflag, if the @ sign does not exist then I would need the EMAILflag to be a N.
This what I have but the emailaddress column is not always null it just has spaces in the field. Select order_NO, shiptoname, Shiptoaddress, Shiptocity,shiptostate, shiptozip, EMAILaddress, CASE WHEN emailaddress IS NULL THEN 'N' ELSE 'Y' END AS emailflag FROM orders;
have a select statement which needs to apply some logic to determine which fields to use. If the modify_timestamp = create_timestamp, then I want to use a location field from patient_medication table. If the modify_timestamp and create_timestamp are not equal, I need to use the location field from a location table. So my select would be select account_id,ndc,startdate -- and then my logic.
Am I correct that you can't use a case for this? Is there a better approach?
I have the following problem. Presum I have a field called contact_mail. I want to check if the field is empty.
If that is true then i want to get the faxnumber from a field called contact_fax . And then i want to put @faxmaker.com behind it in a new field called faxmail.
Something like this contact_fax:123456 - faxmail:123456@faxmaker.com. I've made the following case.
CASE contact_mail WHEN 'NULL' THEN 'contact_fax@faxmaker.com' END AS faxmail
Is there an easy way to send back to my C# program the pascal case of a field type? If you get the parameters or columns for a table or procedure the type is in all lowercase (varchar instead of VarChar). But in C#, it is in an enum (SqlDbType) that has the variables as mixed case so you can't compare them and just pass the type. You need to figure out what the case should be - varchar should be VarChar and bigint should be BigInt.

When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 = CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END , fieldname2 , fieldname3 FROM tablename1 GROUP BY CASE WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah' ELSE thisandthat END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".
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
