What is the best (most optimal) way to perform a case-insensitive search
for a VARCHAR column with COLLATE utf8_bin?
I'm assuming the answer is not:
SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE UPPER(MyColumn) LIKE Upper('%pattern%');

If I search for *AFAN* only entry no. 14 will be shown.

Your two statements
It's not clear to me whether you want the search to be case sensitive or not,
but you need to make sure that the right collation is used. Case sensitive
collations end in "_cs" and case insensitive collations end in "_ci".
Read about collations in chapter 10 of the manual:

Set the field type to binary, or use your php to compare the result

Your two statements contradict each other. Either you are getting case
insensitive search, meaning that it *is* the same if you enter afan,
Afan or AFAN, or you&

{
$SALESMEN[] = preg_replace("/$SearchSalesperson/", "style=\"background-color: gold;\">$SearchSalesperson", $result);
}
}

Any ideas?
Thanks for any
