- Hello world!
- I'm concerned with the problem to generate SQL-queries for a DB2-database
- which contains mixed case strings as its data-rows.
- Unfortunately DB2 offers no way (IMHO) to built a SELECT - WHERE - LIKE
- command in order to retrieve mixed-case-tables by means of just a single
- lower case string pattern after the LIKE clause in the SQL command above.
- Having used a lower (upper) case string pattern one obtains only lower
- (upper) case results since DB2 differs between lower and upper case Characters.
- Hence the question: How to make DB2 ignoring that difference for retrieval?
- Can anybody help me?
- Thanx in advance
