Forcing case sensitivity via a query?
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. Rich Rich Bolen Senior Software Developer GretagMacbeth Advanced Technologies Center 79 T. W.
