How to make PowerPivot case sensitive?

Hi all,
I just discovered that PowerPivot is case-insensitive, which is quite a big problem for me. The only discussion of this I found so far is here: http://dennyglee.com/2010/06/18/powerpivot-you-are-so-insensitive-case-that-is/ .
That didn't fully answer my question though, is it possible to change this behaviour and make it case sensitive?
The reason it's a problem for me is that I have a column (from external data source) used as an ID in a relationship, which contains a string of random characters. If it so happens that two entries have an ID which only differs by a case of a letter, everything
blows up. More precisely, I can no longer import the data into the table where the column is used as a PK, because it is not unique.
Thanks for any comments,
Jurgis

How do I make search case sensitive

I created a search region of type "query" using a simpleSearchPanel. The instructions say the search is case-sensitive when running the page but it appears it is not. Can anyone tell me how to make the search case sensitive?

Please check if you have followed these guidelines
Rule 2 : If your view attribute is of type String(VARCHAR2), and if the item has the Selective Search Criteria property set to false, then OA Framework generates a case-insensitive simple WHERE clause based on the CRITERIA_CONDITION and the CRITERIA_VALUE.
Rule 3: If your view attribute is of type String(VARCHAR2), and the item has the Selective Search Criteria property set to true, then OA Framework generates a case-insensitive WHERE clause using a four-way join to ensure that the index is used.

How to make a pressure sensitive brush in CS3?

Hi!
Is there someone out there who knows how to make a brush similar to this? I've been trying to figure it out for several hours now, but nothing works!
Daniel

Sorry but you aren't going to get something that looks like that from a pressure sensitive brush in Illustrator.
The colors and groupings of blocks are too random to be a repeating pattern (a simple one, anyway) and the order is too consistent to be something like a scatter brush. That said, you *can* do this with a brush but it won't be pressure sensitive and it will require a degree of setup.
Start by building a row of blocks. Mine is a simple pattern with a few pieces removed and not terribly interesting looking but hopefully it'll give you the idea of what I mean:
Group everything and then go up to Effect> 3D> Rotate
Set your X, Y, And Perspective parameters to taste. Keep the Z axes (the blue one) at zero:
Go to Object> Expand Appearance You'll notice that Illustrator has put a clipping mask around your squares (transparent rectangle) Delete it.
Take everything you have and drag it over to the brush panel and make a new Art Brush:
Now you can select that brush and paint with it though you'll get better results by stroking a path you've drawn with the pen tool:
A couple of things to keep in mind:
You'll need to consider your ultimate length when creating the brush. Longer or more wavy lines will require more squares. My squares look a little skewed because I didn't bother to make my pattern very long. A longer row will improve the look of this but hopefully my example is enough to give you the idea.
For generating the square colors, you might want to try the random fills script available from James talmage's page and then use live color to tint everything for you.

How to select a case sensitive value in SQL with C#

Hello,
I have an application that at the begining a user will login with a user name and password which is stored in the database. The SQL statement is as follows:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "'";
For testing purposes I have set the password to the word test. The problem is, if the user enters in TEST or TeSt or TESt it will grant them access. How do I set it to force the correct case?
I am using SQL 2005 for the database.
Thanks!
~zero

You can also set Collation while comparing strings:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS";
All comments about not doing this type of quering using command string, instead of command with parameters, they are apsolutely right.
Nevertheless i will have only username as a parameter in the command and password will be return value from procedure. I will check for equality of entered password and returned one from command in C# code, and C# is case sensitive. There is a good security model implemented for password in AdventureWorks sample database for SQL Server 2005, in table Person.Contact.
That model use two fields for password, PasswordHash and PasswordSalt. PasswordSalt is randomly generated hash when password is modified and with that salt, password string is encrypted, which produce PasswordHash. So when you want to authenticate a user, execute a command that will return a row(PasswordHash and PasswordSalt) for entered username, and in application you will encrypt entered username with PasswordSalt. If generated string is equal with the one returned PasswordHash, then you have a valid login. If nothing is returned from command or they are not equal, you have invalid login.

BI BEx & WAD F4 Search: How to search non-case sensitive

Dear Colleagues,
is there meanwhile a better and comfortable solution for this problem, or have'nt changed anything since "How to... Search non-case sensitive" paper from 2003.
Thanks and regards,
Wolfgang
Edited by: Wolfgang Taag on Aug 4, 2008 1:40 PM

Hi Gerhard,
I quote from OSS note 914303 :
The BI search requires the TREX Server as of 7.0 Support Package 06 or higher. If the search engine is not fully installed, you can still use the standard search that the system carries out in the database. However, as a result, the search takes longer, <u>it is case-sensitive</u> and it does not support the search for attributes.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Olav

Sort strings. How to make it case-insensitive?

I wish to sort some String objects. TreeSet does it automatically, but letters are case-sensitive. Is there some static method that sorts Strings without regard to letter cases, so that "String B" will come between "String b" and "String C"?

SortedSet mySet = new TreeSet(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
mySet.add("monkey");
mySet.add("Zebra");
mySet.add("Aardvark");
for(Iterator i = mySet.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
System.out.println(i.next());
}I think you probably could have figured that out by looking at the API.

How to work with case sensitive select quiry

hi
i have developped a ztable and filled the table programatically. like bellow
stdid stdname(non key)
001    ramu
002    somu
003    RAJU
when i write select quiry on this table like
select *
from zstudent
into table itab
where stdname = 'ramu'.
i found no records in itab.
i also tried with
select *
from zstudent
into table itab
where stdname = 'RAMU'.(by giving where filed in capital)
but i found no records in itab.
when i tryied with
select *
from zstudent
into table itab
where stdname = 'RAJU'.
i found the record in itab.
as per my analysis if database is updated with capital letters,then only select is working
but how to make the fist two select querys to be worked out.without modifying database entries

hi,
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
        name1 LIKE zss_test-name1,
      END OF wa.
data: itab like table of wa.
wa-name1 = 'raju'.
insert zss_test from wa.
Then, the db has the following entries:
RAM
SOM
raju
when i write select quiry on this table like
select *
from zss_tab
into table itab
where name1 = 'raju'.
i found one record in itab.
i also tried with
select *
from zss_tab
into table itab
where name1 = 'RAJU'.(by giving where field in capital)
but i found no records in itab, since there is no such record.
Please check now..
It is working fine only...
somewhere your insert logic may be wrong..

EM12C | Data Masking | How to make my column sensitive

Hello All,
EM : 12c
DB: 11.2.0.3
I have a table with column "Salary" and after doing the 'Data Discovery and Modelling' on my schema i do not see Oracle has identified by column as "Sensitive".
How do i make it sensitive so that i can "mask" it ?
TIA,
JJ

Steps for data masking feature in 12c Cloud Control(12.1.0.1):
Creating only a masking definition does not protect data. You need to first create the definition, which defines the columns to be masked, then proceed with the actual masking to ensure data safety.
Each masking definition requires one or more formats, which define the format used to mask the selected data. You can create the formats before or after creating the masking definition.
Note: Before creating or editing a masking definition, be aware of the following advisory information:
    - Make sure the format you select does not violate check constraints and does not break any applications that use the data.
    - For triggers, PL/SQL, and so forth, Data Masking recompiles the object.
    - Exercise caution when masking partitioned tables, especially if you are masking the partition key. In this circumstance, the row may move to another partition.
    - Data Masking does not support clustered tables, masking information in object tables, XML tables, virtual columns, and so forth. However, relational tables are supported for the masking.
    - If objects are layered on top of a table such as views, materialized views, PL/SQL, and so forth, they are recompiled to be valid.
a. To create data masking format:
1. Login to 12c Cloud Control
2. Expand the Enterprise drop down menu
3. select Quality Management, then Data Masking Formats
4. Click on "Create" to go to the Create Format" Page
5. In the page displayed, enter the necessary details to create Format:
   a. General Information:
         Name: Name of the Format
         Sensitive Column Type: Select a column type the list
         Description: Description of Format
   b. Format Entries: Select a format from the drop down list, then click Go.
                                In the page displayed, select the list of values and click OK
                               Optionally specify the name of a post-processing function
   c. Click OK to create the Data Masking Format
b. To create data masking definition:
1. Login to 12c Cloud Control
2. Expand the Enterprise drop down menu
3. select Quality Management, then Data Masking Definitions
4. Click on "Create" to go to the Create Masking Definition page
5. In the page displayed, enter the necessary details to create masking definition :
    a. General Information:
         Name: Name of the Masking definition
         Application Data Model: Provide required Application Data Model(ADM) name from the list
         Reference Database: Provide required database name
         Description: Description of data masking definition
    b. Workloads: Check Ensure Workload Masking Compatibility if you want to mask Capture files and SQL Tuning Sets. This is optional
    c. Columns: Click Add to go to the Add Columns page, where you can choose which sensitive columns in the ADM you want to mask.
    d. Data Masking Options: Expand Show Advanced Options and decide whether the selected default data masking options are satisfactory (Optional)
    e. Click OK to create Data Masking Definition
c. Performing the Masking Operation
    1. From the Data Masking Definitions page, click Generate Script. The Script Generation Results page appears, which shows the list of database commands to be used to mask the selected columns
    2. Either click Clone and Mask or Schedule Job

Employee search iview serch by last name- how to make it case insensitive

Hi All,
We are using the compensation planning iview on MSS and in the top SAP has employee search iview to select the team. In their is an option to serach by employee first/last name. It works fine but the user has to type in the exact case the last name was saved in infotype.
For example - last name Brown exists in our system. If you serarch using "br" it does not find it but if you do "Br" it finds the
right employee.
My question is - is there a way to change it so that the search does not consider the lowe/upper case and finds the name if matches anyway.
Thanks for your help

Hi, if you're at least on ECC 6.0, check the note [1106196|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1106196] for a custom configuration of search field.

How to solve this case sensitive problem for the parameters in function?

Hi,
   I have a function, which should receive one parameter comes from textbox in BSP form. User will input upper case or lower case characters together in this textbox. But when I debug function, I found after function recevice the value from BSP form, the string value was converted into upper case automatically.
   I don't want system convert string to upper or lower case. I want keep the original value that user inputted.
   So is it possible to do this?
   Thanks!

Hi,
   Thanks for your reply.
   Yes, I use the inputfield. The problem is if I use the parameter which contain user's input in the event handler of BSP, the value is equal to the user's input. But if the parameter was transfered into function, the value was converted to uppercase.
   But I want to keep the original value.
   Thanks!

I recent la format the drive and create a case sensitive jornal and put a password. How I undo it if I just see the whole drive as the recovery disk

I want to format my computer and I start to do that but I fondo a copy of the boot folder on the drive, not the recovery drive. I formated and make it case sensitive jornal with a password. Then I put a password in main too. So the drive the entre drive become my recovery drive.So I have two recovery drive I think.I learn almost all the diskutil comando and I don know how to fin it. The disks are not showing the one with the passwords.

Hi Kappy,
Just wondering if you had any advice for my situation . . .
My time machine backup was backing up to a drive that was "Mac OS X Enteded Journaled, Case Sensitive." I had no idea what this meant, or that it would even cause issues.
I took my computer to the Apple store yesterday, and they wiped it clean. When they tried to restore it from the Time Machine backup drive, it would not work. Their guess is that Time Machine cannot restore from a drive that is "case sensitive."
Any thoughts on how I can convert my time machine backup data from a "case sensitive" state, to a "non-case sensitive" state? I've tried to just drag and drop the files from the case sensitive formatted drive to a new drive that I have that is formatted non case sensitive, but I get the following error message:
"The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup"
I just really want my data back - I thought TimeMachine was the way to go (and was supposed to work) but unfortunately it is not.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Still need help with case sensitive strings

Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
but i still need help!
"I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
with an editable text that the user should type to match that
String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
on exitframe
if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
go to next
end if
end
|----> thats the one Im using!"
There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
first solution given --
If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
magically
makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
item.
on exitframe
if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
go to next
end if
end
Second solution given--
The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
So another way to do this is to check if the string is
neither greater than nor less than the target string:
vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
vInput = field "t:texto 1"
if vExpected < vInput then
-- ignore
else if vExpected > vInput then
-- ignore
else
-- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
go next
end if
So any new solutions??
Thanks in advance!!
joao rsm

The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
efficient way
of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
new director
movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
the text
"Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
following command in
the message window and press Enter
put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
in the field
lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
will return 0
(true).
Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
code to find
what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?
