Question

I am working on a query so that I can compare a word read from a file name to another word that is already predefined in the code and assign it a numeric value.

However, the issue I am running into is trying to ignore the case of the name, because the name is being read from a file the case could change and then would not match the predefined value I have set. Is there any easy way to ignore the capitalization other than putting every possible value in the case?

code snipit:

NumberVal = CASE   
              WHEN Name = 'Bond' OR Name = 'BOND' OR Name = 'bond' THEN 16   
            END

Answer 1

SQL Server be default ignores case so someone has changed the setting ot youdidn’t know

If it is now case sensitive, just use UPPER and forget collation

CASE   
  WHEN UPPER(Name) = 'BOND' THEN 16   
 END
