Just more of a general question really,

when ever I need to compare a field for a a difference in character case I.e if someone has entered something into table.column in lower case when it should have been upper I convert to varbinary

But I vaguely remember reading something about you can change the collation of the string to also find this out?

Anyone know/does this make sense?

Cheers

Robbo

SELECT Column1
FROM Table1
WHERE Column1 COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS = 'casesearch'
