Hi,
hi My MySQL on Debian is on version "4.0.24_Debian-10sarge1-log". I have a
varchar(255) as a primary key for a table. I have found the primary key case insensitive. Is this normal?
Yes, it's normal! To force mysql to use case-sensitive matching you should use BINARY in your comparison as follows: SELECT BINARY 'abc'='AbC' ; <- returns false SELECT 'abc'='AbC' ; <- returns true or you could even declare your field as binary! For more info: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-binary-op.html This is not the behavior I prefer. Any help
would be appreciated, thanks. Timothy
