How to port to_upper to informix?

I know this is an oracle group, but I only monitor some oracle groups. My problem is that I have to write embedded SQL code which has to work both under Oracle and Informix (using #ifdef INFORMIX is OK). I want to create case independent queries. With Oracle I can use select * from tab where to_upper(col) = 'XYZ'; I cannot find something like this in the Informix manuals (Version 7). Of course I could resort to another colunm which contains the same information in upper case. This probably is faster than using to_upper at runtime.
Thanks in advance for any help. Received on Sat Sep 26 1998 - 08:57:40 CDT
