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
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.
See:
This isn't caused by MySQL. It's an OS issue. Linux and Unix are case
sensitive operating systems so any program you run, unless it is
specifically written to be NON-case sensitive, is case sensitive as well.

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,
you can add
`lower_case_table_names = 1` to the my.cnf to ignore table name sensitivity.

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

On column. Look at the collations of your character set using SHOW COLLATION command:

Hi Gord,
I understood that searches in general arecase insensitive (but I might be
wrong of course).
Try to use the word BINARY when creating the table or when making a SELECT.
I am not sure how you would have to apply this to the index.

I have the following index:

Where songtitle, artist and album are varchar() columns.
It appears that this index is not case sensitive. Is that correct? If so,
how can I have it

I do it twice b/c the binary operation is quite slow and doing the

One user name is 'David' and another is 'david'
I want to select only the user with the name
'david'(all small and not 'David')
MySQL is case insensitive in selecting records...

If you add BINARY to the column it WILL make it case sensitive.

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
