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
