Re: HANA db case sensitivity with SQL text searches

Hi Patrick,

In order to avoid case sensitive issues, no need of changing an settings.

Just proper sql is enough to solve this problem.

Here is my work around for your situation.

First i modified the table (EMPLOYEE) to include names in a column "ENAME" with name as JOHN.

SO i have four employees with the same name but with different cases like all lower case, all upper case, mixed case as shown below

Then the SQL required to get the solution is

select "SRK"."EMPLOYEE"."EID","SRK"."EMPLOYEE"."ENAME" from "SRK"."EMPLOYEE"

WHERE  contains ("SRK"."EMPLOYEE"."ENAME", 'john')

ORDER BY "SRK"."EMPLOYEE"."EID";

Irrespective of the search string case you give (JOHN, john, JOhn, etc), you will always get it.
