Hi Sven,

there is no way to disable case sensitivity, however there is a workaroun= d.
If you write:
SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE UPPER(Col1) = 'A', Oracle converts Col1 values=  to
capitals, and then does the SELECT.
This gives more sense if you want to do a sort, and you don't want to distinguish capital letters and small letters.

Hope this helps,
