Re: Case sensitive

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. " http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/pattern-matching.html If this for some reason is different on your server, another route (although likely slower) is a REGEXP search.. -Micah On Wednesday 24 August 2005 1:53 pm, Chris Payne wrote: > 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.
