Hi,

I wish to look for a particular word in the where clause of my query, I
do not want to do a case sensitive match,
so I figured if I just converted the two fileds to lower case then I
could do the match with some degree of accuracy.

trouble is I'm not sure how to convert a field to lower case.
to get the gist of what I am trying to acheive I have included the where
clause below -- which does not work.

select * from tblTest
where LCASE(tblTest.first_name) = 'james'

can anybody please help with this seemingly simple question.

many thanks in advance.

martin.

There are interesting things in this thread. Maybe Helen - in
her slow
hours(!) - could revisit the "Some Solutions to Old Problems"
document and
add to it...
