Re: TeraScript-Talk: Case
my guess is that the JDBC ( or ODBC ) *driver* for FileMaker as a source is what limits the case. These docs might be helpful to those using FMS13: https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/docs/13/en/fm13_odbc_jdbc_guide.pdf https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/docs/13/en/fm13_sql_reference.pdf And remember that FMS can output XML (various grammars), should that prove to be an option. Sometimes I've had to use xDBC and XML to get the optimum with FMS as source. You are not required to use the FM API for PHP, but simply make XML the queries: https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/docs/13/en/fms13_cwp_xml.pdf Beverly On Nov 3, 2014, at 7:14 PM, Robert Shubert rshub...@tronics.com wrote: Wayne, Case sensitivity in SQL comparisons is a function of the database server.

The way we've been handling it is by using a calculation field in the table to calculate the lowercase of the entered string, then when a string from Terascript is compared against it we use the @LOWER tag.

You could try changing the storage in filmmaker to unicode and see if that changes anything. I seem to remember doing that sometime ago and having it work. But I may not be remembering correctly.

Wayne, Case sensitivity in SQL comparisons is a function of the database server.
