Importing from case sensitive systems

  • I am trying to import from a case sensitive system into a non case-sensitive SQL database. The import is fine but I need to cross reference to a table where codes in different cases hold different data (and I need to pick up the right set). I think perhaps I need to use Active-X but I haven't been able to get further than that. Does anyone have any ideas.

  • Could you show some code or schema or something to get things started...

  • Not as such but

    I have two tables in an ingres database. I use post_no on one to link to post_no on another and return the description. What I currently do is read both tables into SQL using DTS and do the link there. (I need the tables for other things later as well). Although I can see a post 123A and 123a the link in SQL assumes that they are the same as I do not want my database to be case sensitive. As far as I know (yet) I do not need to have this case insensitive link elsewhere. I was wondering if I could use a lookup to populate the desciption correctly as i was bringing in the code as this uses Active-X and perhaps will allow me to link to the correct case only.
