this issue is killing me...

yesterday i was working on my application it had a simple select statement but it wasn't working well because as it turns out my database is case sensitive..i researched the issue and found out that because my collation is case sensitive...so i created another database with the following collation:"SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS" which is case insensitive and i copied my data and recreated my application..it took me alot of time and when i was done i tested it and guess what!!! still case sensitive...
for testing purposes i created a test table and queried it with deferent cases and it was insensitive..but when i query the first table...it is case sensitive


i checked the collation of the table itself and it is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS so what can be the issue...

If the columns in tables were created with collation, that is the collation in use for columns.

You can always make COLLATION conversions on-the-fly, see

SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE Col1 COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS = 'SQLTeam'
