An update to this.

I cant vouch for this exact query - on my system it takes a looonnggg time to finish due to the 2 million plus files recorded and I gave up and canceled it, but the following simplified version worked:

mysql> select Name from Filename where LCASE(Name) = 'makedev';
+---------+
| Name    |
+---------+
| MAKEDEV |
+---------+
1 row in set (1.15 sec)

So I dont understand why it wouldn't work in the other query - but I'm not a MySQL Guru.

I am running MySQL Server 3.23.58 tho which could be the difference I suppose.


Hmm... yeah, I tried that, but it didn't work for me, whereas the CONVERT() strategy does:

mysql> select Name from Filename where LCASE(Name) = 'makedev';
Empty set (1.03 sec)

mysql> select Name from Filename where CONVERT(Name using latin1)='makedev';
+---------+
| Name    |
+---------+
| MAKEDEV |
+---------+
1 row in set (1.85 sec)


I am using mysql 5.0.18, though, like you, I don't know why that should make a difference.
