Is it possible to do a case sensitive query to mySQL? What would an
example syntax look like? Ron

Hi there everyone,
I have a little problem, I have a search where people can search the address
of a property BUT the search is case sensitive, I don’t WANT it to be. I’m
using MySQL and PHP and I generally use something like WHERE address LIKE
‘%$stringinput%’ which works with the numbers
Not sure here, as according to my experience, and the MySQL docs, SQL pattern
matching (as you would use with the 'LIKE' syntax) is case-insensitive. From
the docs:
In MySQL, SQL patterns are case-insensitive by default. Some examples are
shown here.
Perhaps its a collatioon issue? Are you using the same characterset for
both?

One trick is to force the case in your comparison:
$ucstringinput = strtoupper($stringinput);
$qry = select * from sometable where upper(address) like '%$ucstringinput%'
Didn't think LIKE was case sensitive, but regardless... forcing upper or
lowercase in your comparison doesn't affect output
better to use the sql UPPER/LOWER and keep your variable values the same

Check to see if you have the Binary option on the field. That would
make searches case sensitive. If it is a binary field, you need to
drop the binary option.

Except that they should be escaping the variable to make it db-safe so
that will change it ... so if you're going to do that, might as well do
this:
$safe_stringinput = _escape_string(strtoupper($stringinput);
Hi,
I have a simple table:
test (
id int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
data varchar(30) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id))
with two simple records:
id data
1 a
2 A
When I perform select * from test where data='a' - it return me both
rows.
By default in MySQL comparing

I have the following example case:
1- More than 1000 record in my MySQL database.
2- I have to submit those record via HTTP GET or POST method.
3- I have to read the confirmation message that will be printed on the
remote page showing me that the vars have been inserted in the remote
database.

Personally I'd call set_time_limit once for each iteration of the loop
with a sensible timeout like 30 seconds. Alternatively you can call it
once at the
I want to test a value that was typed into a form, but I don't want the case
to be a problem, how can I get around this??
This is what I have now:
function calculate_tax($OrderedByState,$ShipState)
{
global $totalPrice;
//tax calculation
$taxRate = 0.05;
if ($OrderedByState==MA
Use strtolower() on all entries from the form, so you can compare them (in lowercase)
without worry about whether the user entered MA, ma, Ma, or mA.

Anyone offer recommendations for a CASE/E-R

MySQL?
Thanks

LIKE '%blah%'"
the problem is that currently if something contains Blah not just blah
it wont return that. suggestion? i know i can suck out every row and
then eregi them but that is majorly slow and inefficent . . .

You could use the UPPER function. Fortunately you're using PostgreSQL,
which conforms with much of the ANSI standard. UPPER and LOWER are
implementations of the fold functions required by ANSI SQL. This would be
the most standard way to solve your problem (with the notable exception of
