CONCAT turns every this in to a string then puts them together?
LIKE is not case sensitive with string?
When is this turned in to BINARY?

What have I missed please

Subject: I need the opposite of BINARY


Hi,

I do the following:

<somequery> ... WHERE CONCAT(anumber, aname) LIKE '12SomeString'

As explained in the manual this is treated as a BINARY comparison i.e.
case of the letters matter. I need a case independent comparison here. Is
there a way to get the usual behaviour of LIKE in this case? (besides
translating all characters to LOWER which is IMHO no elegant solution).

TIA
Thomas Spahni
