Re: case sensitive table names in mysql-5.0.21
Hello, I am using MySql-5.0.21 on Suse-Linux-10, i created tables using lowercase names for example ; mysql create table a (id int); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec) mysql select * from A; ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mysql.A' doesn't exist mysql select * from a; Empty set (0.01 sec) I have upgraded from mysql-4.0.17 to 5.0.21 ,and all the ANSI-SQL queries from my application using UPPERCASE table names are bombing, i immediately had to stop 5.0.21 and restart mysql-4.0.17. Is there any way to get around this problem and have a smooth upgrade.

Re: case sensitive table names in mysql-5.0.21
Hi, yes it makes a huge difference, as the tables are stored in files and therefore if the filesystem is case-insensitive (Windows) you can use either case in your queries, while on a case-sensitive filesystem (linux etc) you can't.

Re: Case Sensitive
But this issue can be handled by MySQL. Take a look at the lower_case_table_names system variable. With lower_case_table_names=1 on the Linux/Unix server, table names will be stored as lower case. See the manual http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Name_case_sensitivity.html for the details, and be sure to read the last sentence. Michael Jack Coxen wrote: This isn't caused by MySQL.

If you do, then you'll have some definite difficulty replicating them to a machine that doesn't have case-sensitive filenames.

Re: case sensitive?
From the MySQL manual A.5.1 Case-Sensitivity in Searches By default, MySQL searches are case-insensitive (although there are some character sets that are never case-insensitive, such as czech ). That means that if you search with col_name LIKE 'a%' , you will get all column values that start with Aor a. If you want to make this search case-sensitive, use something like INSTR(col_name, A)=1 to check a prefix. Or use STRCMP(col_name, A) = 0 if the column value must be exactly A . Simple comparison operations ( =, , = , , = , sorting and grouping) are based on each character's ``sort value''. Characters with the same sort value (like E, e and é) are treated as the same character! In older MySQL versions LIKE comparisons were done on the uppercase value of each character (E == e but E é). In newer MySQL versions LIKE works just like the other comparison operators. If you want a column always to be treated in case-sensitive fashion, declare it as BINARY . See section 6.5.3 CREATE TABLE Syntax . If you are using Chinese data in the so-called big5 encoding, you want to make all character columns BINARY . This works because the sorting order of big5 encoding characters is based on the order of ASCII codes. On Tue, 23 Sep 2003 10:37:24 -0700, Hsiu-Hui Tseng spoke thusly about case sensitive?: Hi, I have questions on string comparison: Table: user_att +-+--+--+-+-+---+ Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-+--+--+-+-+---+ user_id | int(11) | | PRI | 0 | | att_id | int(11) | | PRI | 0 | | value | varchar(200) | | | | | date| datetime | YES | | NULL| | +-+--+--+-+-+---+ - one unique index on user_id and att_id (pk) - one index on att_id and user_id.

They result are all the same. However, if I want to retrieve only 'sandy' instead of 'Sandy'. Is there any query to achieve that? Is there anyway to configure mysql to be case sensitive? Thanks!

A comparison will be case sensitivie, if any sub-part of the expression is case sensitive. There are several ways to solve this: 1) CREATE or ALTER your tables so that the relevant CHAR and VARCHAR fields are of type BINARY; change TEXTs to BLOBs 2) Use a case-sensitive, but neutral function when SELECTing, to force MySQL to perform a case-sensitive comparison / Carsten -- Carsten H.

Jiri Mikulas [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.anglictina.com ICQ: 108 36 60 66 Admin - anglictina.com There are several ways: 1. When creating tables, use "text" fields instead of "char" or "varchar". 2. When creating tables, use "char binary" or "varchar binary" fields. 3. Cast the field in the query. Ex: SELECT * FROM names WHERE BINARY fname = "Joe"; Most importantly, read the manual. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
