SQL 区分大小写的字符串比较

Question

How do you compare strings so that the comparison is true only if the cases of each of the strings are equal as well. For example:

Select * from a_table where attribute = 'k'

...will return a row with an attribute of 'K'. I do not want this behaviour.

Answer 1

Select * from a_table where attribute = 'k' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS 

做到了。

Answer 2

You can also convert that attribute as case sensitive using this syntax :

ALTER TABLE Table1
ALTER COLUMN Column1 VARCHAR(200)
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS

Now your search will be case sensitive .

If you want to make that column case insensitive again, then use

ALTER TABLE Table1
ALTER COLUMN Column1 VARCHAR(200)
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Answer 3

You Can easily Convert columns to VARBINARY(Max Length), The length must be the maximum you expect to avoid defective comparison, It's enough to set length as the column length. Trim column help you to compare the real value except space has a meaning and valued in your table columns, This is a simple sample and as you can see I Trim the columns value and then convert and compare.:

CONVERT(VARBINARY(250),LTRIM(RTRIM(Column1))) = CONVERT(VARBINARY(250),LTRIM(RTRIM(Column2)))

Hope this help.

Answer 4

Just as another alternative you could use HASHBYTES, something like this:

SELECT * 
FROM a_table 
WHERE HASHBYTES('sha1', attribute) = HASHBYTES('sha1', 'k')

Answer 5

simplifying the general answer

SQL Case Sensitive String Compare

These examples may be helpful:

Declare @S1 varchar(20) = 'SQL'
Declare @S2 varchar(20) = 'sql'

  
if @S1 = @S2 print 'equal!' else print 'NOT equal!' -- equal (default non-case sensitivity for SQL

if cast(@S1 as binary) = cast(Upper(@S2) as binary) print 'equal!' else print 'NOT equal!' -- equal

if cast(@S1 as binary) = cast(@S2 as binary) print 'equal!' else print 'NOT equal!' -- not equal

if  @S1 COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS  = Upper(@S2) COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS  print 'equal!' else print 'NOT equal!' -- equal

if  @S1 COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS  = @S2 COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS  print 'equal!' else print 'NOT equal!' -- not equal

 

The convert is probably more efficient than something like runtime calculation of hashbytes, and I'd expect the collate may be even faster.

Answer 6

您可以将attribute定义为BINARY或使用INSTR或STRCMP来执行搜索。
