hi, would SELECT * FROM LCASE( Country ) = 'jamaica' solve this problem? On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 2:32 AM, Martin Kersten wrote:

MonetDB is case sensitive, except for those places where the SQL standard allows. Strings are therefore case sensitive. There is no knob to change that behavior.

Hi All!

We are facing a problem, we used to work with mysql with the case insensitive. Now we have moved into MonetDB and we are facing a problem with this issue.

Some of our queries are not bringing any data because of the sensitive..

SELECT * FROM Country = 'jamaica' ... 0 Records SELECT * FROM Country = 'Jamaica' ... 10 Records

Some cases we solved it using the ILIKE, but we still have some code on our app that cannot be modified.

Does anybody know if there is any flag or setup or config for the Database in Monet to make it insensitive ?

Thanks in advance for the help!

It's ugly, but if you compile from source, you could change the C-code to use case insensitive comparisons. Not sure if the same code is used by MonetDB itself to lookup tables etc. -----Original Message----- From: Alberto Ferrari [aferrari@starconnecting.commailto:aferrari@starconnecting.com] Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2016 08:38 AM Eastern Standard Time To: Communication channel for MonetDB users Subject: Re: Case sensitive Anthony, as Ariel said, in some cases we cannot modify the query.

If you can't modify the queries in your application, you could intercept the query inside MonetDB before it gets passed into the parser and modify it there. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Kersten [martin.kersten@cwi.nlmailto:martin.kersten@cwi.nl] Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2016 11:36 AM Eastern Standard Time To: users-list@monetdb.org Subject: Re: Case sensitive On 30/04/16 17:17, Anderson, David B wrote:

Yes, the string comparison method is system wide. It complies with the SQL standard. You might, after 'fixing' this issue, quickly hit on more incompatibilities. This reference gives you a first glance... https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SQL_Dialects_Reference regards, Martin

Anthony, as Ariel said, in some cases we cannot modify the query.
