Hi,

I am using SQL Server 2005 now.

I have to queries.that are

select 8 from testdb where name = 'TONY'

select 8 from testdb where name = 'tony'

the two queies get same results now. but 'TONY' and 'tony' are different if we need 'case sensitive'.

how to make the above queries get different result

My test data like following (testdb table)

name phone
TONY 12345
tony 67890

Thanks

Mark

Use a case sensitive collation for that column.
