Re: Case Sensitivity in select

you can also use:

SELECT * from words
WHERE LOWER(word) = 'hello'

Both will return the same results, any case variation of the word Hello.

( I thought it interesting that I saw the original post before I went to school today, and when in class we learned these commands, talk about timing...lol)
