How to create case-insensitive account name report?

We have an account report that allows users to enter part of an account name and return matching results. The prompt is case sensitive but I would like it to be case insensitive. This report uses a report prompt and not a dashboard prompt (if it makes a difference), and I can switch to dashboard prompt if necessary.
Since the left pane search for Account Name is case-insensitive and you can select case-insensitive when creating account list views, I am hoping there is a way to apply this same functionality to a report.
I understand I can convert Account Name to upper or lower and tell people to search that way, but that will be a last resort.
Any suggestions on how to make the prompt value and report results for Account Name case-insensitive?
Thanks.

Similarly to all this, and even what the OP is looking to accomplish, is the habit of developers attempting to coerce the database object names into the format of their language - usually .net or some such. So they create tables named something like EmpDepProjectStatus which may make their application code all look consistent, but becomes EMPDEPPROJECTSTATUS when created in the database. Why can they not adapt to the database and name the table EMP_DEP_PROJECT_STATUS so that we do not go blind trying to manage their db objects? Is it their teachers that tell them EveryThingMustBeWrittenLikeThisBecauseTheyCannotStandSeperatingTheWordsThatNameObjectsWithSpaces_WHICH_ARE_UNDERSCORES_IN_MOST_ALL_LEGACY_LANGUAGES?
I do not think that Oracle will ever become case sensitive. Just like COBOL, IMS, IDMS, JCL, BASIC, PL/I, etc. There is just too much code out there that ignores case that it could not be done.
Unless, of course, Oracle creates a init.ora option to set case sensitive. But I doubt (hope most sincerely) that they will never do that.

  • SQL Developer 3.0 EA1 creates case senstive account names

    Hi,
    When creating a new account with SQL Developer 3.0 EA1, the user name is enclosed in quotes. This creates a case sensitive account name which creates problems when trying to sign. Historically account names have been converted to uppercase internally and during the logon sequence this is expected behavior. Not sure why the SQL Developer 3.0 EA1 team has chosen to start encapsulating usernames during creation in quotes?
    Example of create user statement from 2.0
    -- USER SQL
    CREATE USER why_this_old_way IDENTIFIED BY scott ;
    -- ROLES
    GRANT "RESOURCE" TO why_this_old_way ;
    GRANT "CONNECT" TO why_this_old_way ;
    Example of create user statement from 3.0 EA1.
    -- USER SQL
    CREATE USER "why_this_new_way" IDENTIFIED BY scott ;
    -- ROLES
    GRANT "RESOURCE" TO "why_this_new_way" ;
    GRANT "CONNECT" TO "why_this_new_way" ;
    Having case sensitive object names greatly increases the complexity unnecessarily, please don't implement this approach.
    Scott K.

    Please tell me how you accessed the create user UI. Is this new "functionality" occurring from the DBA Navigator?
    It's looking like it changed in both dialogs to me are you seeing the same thing? I'll dig in and see why this was changed.
    Thanks,

  • How to create a user account by mirroring another account in PowerShell (Trying to learn to use Powshell for some daily AD tasks intead of the GUI)

    Hi,
    I am trying to create user accounts via PowerShell instead of the Gui in server 2008 R2 (PowerShell 2.0).
    I know how to create a user account with the following Power Shell command below is one from a dummy domain I created to practice.
    PS C:\Users\Administrator> New-ADUser -SamAccountName "TestOut" -UserPrincipalNa
    me "[email protected]" -GivenName "Test" -Surname "out" -DisplayName "Testou
    t" -Name "Testout" -Enabled $true -Path "CN=users,DC=bwcat,DC=net,DC=int" -Accou
    ntPassword (Read-Host -AsSecureString "Enter Account Password") 
    However when doing day to day tasks where I work normally we have a new hire, they contact IT and ask that a user account is created.   I will ask who they would like to mirror.
    I then would go into the gui pull up the user that they want to mirror right click him and choose copy.  This would create a new user account that I would then fill out.
    I am wondering if its possible to do this same thing via PowerShell, or  if its not an option because it takes more work type up everything than it does to go into the gui and do it.
    Anyway thanks for the help.

    Hi Wilder, hi Mark,
    first of all: The tutorial sources Mark posted - especially the book "Powershell 3 in A month of lunches" - are good to get a baseline start. A really great reference, especially when you try to learn it while still dealing with your daily business.
    On another note, Wilder: While I fully agree that learning things sequentially is usually the best, I too jumped right in instead of learning how to walk first (though it's been some time now. Fewer years than you'd think, but still ...). So I thought I'd
    give you a little aid with that function husk, so you could just stuff interesting bits into an available structure, making use of the fun tools in a useful context (It's fun fiddling around with the commands, but if you have to type in all of them manually
    each time, using the GUI is often just faster. Doing fun things and being efficient with it feels even better though ...). So ... while I
    do agree with yourself, learn it the Correct & Proper Way, I also do
    intend to finish this little explanation about the husk, all the way to the end.
    Everything below this paragraph is part of this.

    $NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
    # Do Whatever else you feel like doing
    This is again the same function husk I posted earlier. Only this time, I filled a little logic (the pieces that were already posted in this thread). This time, I'll not only go over each part again ... I'll do it by reposting the segments and trying to show
    some examples on how to modify the parts. Thus some of it will be repetitive, but this way all the info is in one spot.
    Segment: Comment Based Help

    .DESCRIPTION
    A detailed description of the Copy-ADUser function.

    Additional information about the function.
    #>
    That's the premier documentation part of a function, that teaches a user what the function does and how to use it. It's what's shown when using the Get-Help cmdlet.
    Comment texts are not restricted to single lines however. For example you could replace ...
    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
    ... with ...
    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
    Creates a new user named Max Mustermann and copies the group memberships of the already existing user Jonny Normal to this new User
    ... and get an explanation on what the example does when using Get-Help with the
    -Detailed parameter (Explaining examples is always a good idea).
    Segment: Parameter
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]
    $Surname,
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]
    $GivenName,
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]
    $Template
    This is the segment that tells Powershell what input your function accepts. Each parameter of Copy-ADUser you set will be available in the next segment as a variable of the same name. You can add additional parameters if you need more information for your
    logic. For example, let's add a parameter that allows you to specify what Organization the new user should belong to:
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]
    $Surname,
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]
    $GivenName,
    [string]
    $Organization,
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]
    $Template
    That's how that would look like. You may notice that I didn't add the line with
    "[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] this time. This means you
    may add the Organization parameter when calling Copy-ADUser, but you need not.
    Segment: Logic
    # Create new User
    $NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
    # Copy from old User
    $NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
    # Do Whatever else you feel like doing
    This is the part of the function that does the actual work. Compared to the first husk I posted, this time there are two commands in it (and some comments). First, I create a new user, using the information passed into
    the parameters -Surname and -GivenName. Then I Copy the group memberships of the user identified by the information given by the
    -Template parameter.
    So, let's modify it!
    # Tell the user you are starting
    Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname"
    # Create new User
    $NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
    # Tell the user you are copying Group Memberships
    Write-Host "Copying the group-memberhips of $Template to $GivenName $Surname"
    # Copy from old User
    $NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
    # Do Whatever else you feel like doing
    Now after adding a few lines, the logic will tell us what it's doing (and do so before it
    is taking action)!
    Hm ... didn't we create a change in the Parameter Segment to add an -Organization parameter? Let's use it!
    # If the -Organization parameter was set, the $Organization variable will be longer than 0. Thus do ...
    if ($Organization.Length -gt 0)
    # Tell the user you are starting
    Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname in the Organization $Organization"
    # Create new User
    $NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -Organization $Organization -PassThru
    # If the -Organization parameter was NOT set, the $Organization variable will have a length of 0. Thus the if-condition does not apply, thus we do the else block
    else
    # Tell the user you are starting
    Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname"
    # Create new User
    $NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
    # Tell the user you are copying Group Memberships
    Write-Host "Copying the group-memberhips of $Template to $GivenName $Surname"
    # Copy from old User
    $NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
    # Do Whatever else you feel like doing
    There! Now we first check whether the -Organization parameter was set (it's not mandatory after all, so you can skip it). If it
    was set, do whatever is in the curly braces after if (...). However, if it wasn't set, do whatever is in the curly braces after
    else.
    And that concludes my "minor" (and hopefully helpful) tutorial on how to use the function husk I posted :)
    With this, whenever you find another cool command that helps you in the user creation process, you can simply add it, similar to what I did in these examples.
    And if it all didn't make much sense, go through the tutorials in proper order and come back - it'll make much more sense then.
    Cheers and good luck with PowerShell,
    Fred

  • How can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID.  You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
    Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account.  Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

  • How to create 2 icloud accounts with one apple id

    I would like to find out how to create 2 iCloud accounts using the same apple id. Currently, my husband's iphone4S and my iPhone 4 have merged contacts which we don't want, and when he texts it shows that it is from me.

    You can't do that.  One of you will have to create a new icloud account with a new ID and connect the device to it.
    TO GET DATA FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO A NEW ACCOUNT:
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 
    CREATING A NEW ID:
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • How to create a new account and copy all settings?

    I think my main user account is corrupted. So I want to create a new account and copy all of my settings, files etc..and more than likely piecemeal just incase my settings are what is corrupted. That way I can isolate the problem.
    I don't plan to delete the main account until satisfied and I also have my Time Machine backup plus my SuperDuper backup.
    I can/should be able to figure out how to create the new account, but I am very unclear on the best/easiest approach to copy in my iTunes files and settings, applications(is this even an issue), address book, email, etc? I should be able to find most everything underneath my home account folders but what else am I missing here? I don't want to find out the hard way.
    Please share some advice or perhaps a link/FAQ on how to approach.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to create rtf template to view report in Word and Excel, with numeric f

    Hi,
    Please help me!
    How to create rtf template to view report in Word and Excel, with numeric formatted fields (like this 999 999 999,99 with spaces between numbers) and then end user be able to process those fields with Excel tools (sum, etc).
    Thank you.

    From what I have seen Excel can not handle 999 999 999.00. You can use 999999999.00 and then format it as you want in the xls bt you can not have values like 999 999 999.00 coming from publisher output and have functions on the values in Excel

  • How do I change the account name in Mail on the iPad?

    I Am setting up my new iPad mini running iOS 8.1.
    other her mail accounts I have set up show the account name as the email address but when I set up my iCloud account the account name simply says "icloud".
    It is a bit confusing because there are other iCloud's mail accounts set up that just list it by email address.
    Does anyone know know how to change the displayed account name in Mail?

    Hi Gabe Hamrick,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  
    You can change the Description field of your iCloud email account so that it displays what you want.  Follow the steps in the article below to get into you Mail settings.  However, in step 3 instead of adding an account, you should already see your iCloud account showing in the Accounts section of the screen.  
    Add an email account on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201320
    1.  Tap Settings.
    2.  Scroll down and tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    3.  Tap on your iCloud account.  On the next screen, tap on your (name)@icloud.com email address to the right of the word Account.  Change the Description field to whatever you want to display.  Tap Done in the upper-right corner.
    I hope this information helps ....
