Question

The CurrentCultureIgnoreCase operative worked fine on the SQL Server instance. It however isn’t working on the DB2 instance I have of the same application.

I have tried the following ones:

Working (although concerned about performance hit):

s.POSTCODE.Trim().ToLower() == q.Trim().ToLower();

Not Working:

s.POSTCODE.Trim().Equals(q, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

Not Working:

s.POSTCODE.Trim().Equals(q, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Answer 1

For whatever reason, the only string comparison denomination that works on DB2 is:

s.POSTCODE.Trim().ToLower() == q.Trim().ToLower();

Have tried various alternate forms with no luck.
