In order to perform a case-sensitive search/replace on a table in a SQL Server

  • 0

In order to perform a case-sensitive search/replace on a table in a SQL Server 2000/2005 database, you must use the correct collation.

How do you determine whether the default collation for a database is case-sensitive, and if it isn’t, how to perform a case-sensitive search/replace?

  1. SELECT testColumn FROM testTable       WHERE testColumn COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS = 'example'   SELECT testColumn FROM testTable     WHERE testColumn COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS = 'EXAMPLE'   SELECT testColumn FROM testTable      WHERE testColumn COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS = 'eXaMpLe'

    Don’t assume the default collation will be case sensitive, just specify a case sensitive one every time (using the correct one for your language of course)
