MySQL case-sensitive with binary


joquius

Recommended Posts

;D

 

I have a query which searches a mediawiki database, the problem being the case sensitive nature of the binary collation which is used for text revisions in mediawiki. I know that I could simply compare both lowercase, or ucfirst() the search string but it just lengthens the query. I would use regex, but I'm not to sure if pattern modifiers even exist in the regex that comes with MySQL 5.0.

 

Oh and I'm definitely not changing the collation in the database itself.  :-X

 

Any help is appreciated
