Case sensitive matching in IN clause in SQL

Question

I have 2 rows in my table like this

• name: Charlie id: 26
• name: Frank id: 28

I want a case sensitive comparison.

I wrote a query like this

select *  
from table1 
where name in ('charlie', 'Frank') COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS; 

but it is not working. What should be the query?

Answer 1

You need to change your column to case sensitive. Something like:

ALTER TABLE table1
ALTER COLUMN name VARCHAR(100) 
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/485394/224370 which is a slightly different question, but same answer applies.
