Case Sensitvity

[Durbs]

Though it must be observed that she, rather than being a conventional hu-man female, was actually A Key.

HTH

But a key with a cracking set of Bristols. Something that Yale, in all their years of lockmaking have never managed, so respec' due.

can anyone please tell me what is point of case sensitivity in SQL Server? It is not something I have seen a lot of in my doings but today I had to port some Netik sql stored procedures to another installation of netik. The Sql instance here is case sensitve and I found my netik procedures failed because case sensitivity is not addressed in the procedures themselves.

SQL Server is a database which is storing many pieces of text in its doings. Capitalisation of a word can be changing its meaning in its doings in the English language or some other languages. For instancings, The words ‘dawn’ and ‘Dawn’ are having different meanings indeed, one referring to the early morning and the other to a person of female type.

It is therefore of some utility and importance that a database supports case sensitivity in all of its doings including its coding doings; it is good to maintain consistency in all doings of database, including code, as code can be stored as text in DB tables.


Hope that is helping in your doings.
