It's not an Oracle vs Access problem, it's a UNIX vs Windows problem. UNIX is case sensitive. Oracle is also when you are talking about literal strings (as well it should be if you're talking about literals). Vendor doesn't know how to check for different cases and does shoddy work.

We have third party application, while doing text string search, user need type in upper case otherwise nothing display. The vendor said it is ORACLE problem, because "MS Access" do NOT have this problem. Because we does NOT have application source code, does their has way We can setup parameter on "init.ora" file to make it work or not?

Our ORACLE version is 8.1.7 on SUN Solaris.

Thanks.
