If I understand correctly, you have to define a char field as binary if you want the database to treat it as a 'case sensitive' field. Is there any way via a SQL query to force case sensitivity to be used for a non-binary char field? i.e.: for comparing strings in a case sensitive way. Or is there some way to force the database to use case sensitive string comparisons all the time (even for non-binary char fields)?
I'm using the mm.mysql jdbc driver to access the database and it returns the data differently if a field is defined as binary. This is causing my string data to be garbled in my application for binary char fields.
