Case sensitivity
Informix®
With Informix, database object names like table and column names are not case sensitive:
CREATE TABLE Customer ( Custno INTEGER, ... )
SELECT CustNo FROM cuSTomer ...
SAP ASE
With SAP® ASE, database object names and character data are case-insensitive by default:
CREATE TABLE Customer ( Custno INTEGER, CustName CHAR(20) )
INSERT INTO CUSTOMER VALUES ( 1, 'TECHNOSOFT' )
SELECT CustNo FROM cuSTomer WHERE custname = 'techNOSoft'
Solution
When you create a SAP ASE database with
dbinit, you can use the -c
option to make the database
case-sensitive.
