Can we ignore the case-sensitivity

Suppose my table has a column of varchar datatype and I have inserted data in uppercase or lowercase or in mixed case.
If I want to fire select query then I'll have to take care of the case.Is there any way so that we can ignore the case sensitivity of the database and we can fire select queries without considering case of the data?
In other words,
Is there is any option available in Oracle to bypass case sensitive configuration while retrieving output from oracle query. Oracle does not return output if data in table are in capital letters and query to retrieve data contains value in title case or lower case.An option to deal with such case is to use upper function in oracle query however would be more interested in knowing if there is any option available in oracle to bypass the case sensitive check while retrieving output from query, as it works with SQL.

There're some bugs associated with putting NLS_COMP=LINGUISTICS and NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI

  • Can't restore from case sensitive TM back-up

    I'm in the final stages of restoring my system following a complete rebuild, and am having an issue stop me from restoring all of the files from my TM backup.
    Prior to the rebuild it appears that I had my main drive formatted as Extended (case sensitive). Likewise, my TM backup drive was also formatted as case sensitive.
    Since the rebuild my main drive is now not formatted as case sensitive, and while I can restore most of the files from the TM backup, there are a small number that won't restore, giving the error message:
    +"You cannot copy 'ABCDE' to the destination because its name is the same as the name of an item on the destination, except for the case of some characters."+
    As I'm restoring to what was an erased drive, the files can't already exist somewhere else on the drive. Also, it seems odd that most files aren't affected by this, while some are - both data and applications.
    I've tried to restore to another case sensitive drive, change the file name something unique so that I could then copy to the non-case sensitive drive, but in the process of copying, the same message appears and the copy fails.
    Is there some way to restore individual files from a case sensitive TM backup to a non-case sensitive drive, or to change whatever is causing this within Terminal (note that I'm a complete Terminal novice)
    Thanks in advance.

    +"You cannot copy 'ABCDE' to the destination because its name is the same as the name of an item on the destination, except for the case of some characters."+
    As I'm restoring to what was an erased drive, the files can't already exist somewhere else on the drive.
    The files weren't on the drive before the restore started. The restore created them. If the case-sensitive backup has multiple files of the same name (except for case) in a folder, the first will be restored, then you will get the error message when it tries to copy the second.
    Also, it seems odd that most files aren't affected by this, while some are - both data and applications.
    Most files have different names.

  • The query screens are case sensitive I want to remove the case sensitivity

    The current query screens are case sensitive ,I want to remove the case sensitivity is there a setting somewhere to remove this or how else can this be done.
    Example:In the restrict value range of the query screen.If we give for a particular field anything in capital letters/small it should take.
    Please let me know ASAP
    Thanks

    Hi pavan,
    generally case sensivity is related to InfoObject Master Data.
    Take a look via Tcode RSD1 to the master data of your InfoObject and check in first screen if flag for capitol letters has been marked.
    If this is the situation it is a problem, because MAster Data in cube have been saved as different if are written like "Letter" or "LETTER".
    Ciao.

  • How can I deal with case-sensitive filenames referred to inconsistently inside other files?

    I have downloaded into Dreamweaver an existing web site that I'll be taking over from someone else.  The site was built with Microsoft Front Page and apparently now runs on a Windows web server.  While redesigning the site, I'd like to upload it to a web server belonging to me, where I can maintain a work in progress that is accessible to others (so they can give me input as I go along).  But my site is running on a Unix system, where filenames are case-sensitive.
    In the site I've inherited, I've discovered at least one file that is referred to in other files sometimes with one character in upper case and other places in all lower-case.  The actual filename contains the upper case character and locally, on my Windows system, it doesn't matter.  But on the server the file is not found when it is referenced in all lower-case.
    Of course, I can create an all lower-case symlink on my Unix server for the mixed-case file that I know about.  But I don't want to look through every file on the site for other files which may vary, case-wise, in how they are referenced.  Is there any way that Dreamweaver can help me;  for example, by going through and changing all mixed-case filename references inside files, to be consistent with the actual filenames?
    I know this is a lot to ask of Dreamweaver and I'm not optimistic.  But if anyone knows of a solution, I'd appreciate it.

    he means that if you use the file > find function
    (on windows this can be called upoon using CTRL + F)
    you will be able to go through all the files which are cauing you a problem and change their names so that they are all in the same case
    be warned thou
    if case sensitivity is your problem,
    and
    if some code references to your files are written in one case and some are written in the other case, simply changeing the case of the file names will not help.
    what you are trying to do will only work if
    > ALL of the file names are in one case
    or
    > ALL of the files names are the same case
    bcause this will mean you can change the one which does not always match using CTRL + F
    if there is a mix and match on both sides then you are in for a lot of work, if this problem involves multiple names then i would advise you to simply start over!

  • How can I convert to case sensitive?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, my root file system is suddenly case insensitive. Is it possible to convert it back to being case sensitive? I've looked into the man pages for diskutil and hfs.util, but neither seems to provide what I'm looking for.
    Thanks & regards,
    Paul

    Thanks for your reply! I'm developing Web applications which will get deployed on Linux and *BSD machines, so I'd like my machine to be as close to the target systems as possible. I've been a Unix person for 15+ years, so I feel right at home with a case sensitive file system. And I've been using case sensitive file systems on all my Macs since 2006, without any problems. Fortunately, I don't depend on Adobe products, which would apparently be problematic in my case. I've encountered exactly one non-Adobe program along the way which caused problems with a case sensitive file system.
    TL;DR: I know from experience that a case sensitive file system is fine for my kind of usage.

  • I need to find my serial number for a unit that I have registered.  It was stolen and I can not find the case it came in.

    Where can I find the Serial number if the unit was stolen?

    From an apple support page:
    iTunes
    Connect iPod to your computer.
    When iPod appears in iTunes, select it on the left side of the iTunes window under Devices.
    Click the Summary tab, and your iPod's serial number will display on screen. For iPod shuffle (1st and 2nd generation), click the Settings tab.
    If your iPod is not currently connected to your computer, but has been connected to your iTunes library before, follow these instructions:
    Hold down the Control key and choose Help > About iTunes (Windows) or iTunes > About iTunes (Mac).
    Release the Control key.
    As the iTunes and QuickTime version information scrolls, you will see the serial number of the last connected iPod as well as the last connected iPhone's serial number and IMEI.
    Tips:
    Hold down the Option key (Shift key in Windows) to reverse the scrolling.
    Press the Space bar to pause the scrolling.
    You can copy this information to the Clipboard and and paste it into a document.
    In Mac OS X, choose Edit > Copy (or Command-C).
    In Windows, press Control-C.
    Note: In iTunes, when you view the iPod serial number, you can choose Edit > Copy to put the serial number on the Clipboard. You can then paste the serial number into an email or web page (for registration, for example).

  • How can I ignore the same warnings at once?

    I am using a formula, but i am getting a warning sign on the top left corner of each cell - one with a blue triangle.
    I can get rid of the triangles by clicking on it and then clicking "ignore"
    Is there a way to ignore all of these warning signs at once??? or do I really have to click on each one to ignore each warning?

    j,
    There's a Preference setting for empty cell warnings. Other than that way to opt out of one particular type of warning, you have to deal with the rest of them one at a time. When you tire of this, you may be motivated enough to rewrite the expression to avoid the warnings -- it's often possible.

  • How can i ignore the update offer for premiere 6.5

    i have downloaded premiere 6.5 to get access to encore and then i deleted/uninstalled premiere
    but still am being offered an update for it??

    Try downloading and installing the 10.5.6 combo update instead available here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10-5-6_ComboUpdate
    Also, using a commercial (not residential) broadband account is not a good way to download Mac Os X software updates. The administrator might have restrictions for downloading files you aren't aware of that can restrict the installation of the software.
    Make sure your Mac has enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
    Repair Disk Permissions:
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • Can we write select query regardless of case sensitivity?

    Hello Everyone,
    I have written one function module. And in this FM i am using one import parameter which has Data element and domain as type. In that i have checked Upper/Lower case checkbox, to retain case of the data in table. But when firing query to database i have to supply same case as it is stored in table.
    so, can i ignore the case of the parameter in select query and can i fire the query regardless of the case of the where conition??
    Thanks in Advance,
    Bhavik

    Hi Bhavik,
    You can do this without adding a column to the table.
    Just Fetch all the data in one internal table then loop that table inside that loop check whether that field contains that string or not. For this you use CP operator, that checks for string irrespective of the case. This can perform wild serach also. The following code may help you,
        SELECT * FROM /cpd/d_mp_hdr_s INTO TABLE it_mast_hdr_desc1.
        LOOP AT it_mast_hdr_desc1 INTO wa_mast_hdr_desc.
          IF wa_mast_hdr_desc-text CP lv_mp_text.
            APPEND wa_mast_hdr_desc TO it_mast_hdr_desc.
            CLEAR wa_mast_hdr_desc.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
    Here both the internal table and the work area are of type /cpd/d_mp_hdr_s.
    Hope this helps you.
    With Regards,

    Sometimes a backup will fail, sometimes you can't access them, sometimes you'll get this message:
    See #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
    And by this stage is it too late to recover anything?
    Sometimes.    Sometimes they can be repaired by Disk Utility.  Sometimes only a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app like DiskWarrior ($100) can fix them.  Sometimes nothing can.  Sometimes you can restore some individual items, sometimes not.  Sometimes you can do a full system restore from some backups, other times not.
    does it help that I am using a Gigabit WIRED connection between iMac - 10/100/1000 switch - Airport Extreme Base Station?
    Probably -- you won't have WIFI interference.
    But if you have an iMac, why not just connect the external HD directly to your Mac?  That's much faster and more reliable (and supported).
    You'd need to erase the disk in that case, since Time Machine won't bother with a sparse bundle at all on a direct backup.  Just format the disk as GUID, with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and let 'er rip!
