What is the best practice for doing Case Insensitive searches on CHAR
fields? We have a query where I need to provide a search on a partial match
(ie. 'LIKE' or 'CONTAINS' type search) but the search information entered
could be any mix of upper and/or lower case, but the data in the tables
could also be in any format.
What is the easiest way to handle this?
Thanks
