As part of porting an Application from SQL*Server to Oracle, when using SQL/PLSQL etc we need to retrieve Data in UPPER Case "Database-wide" irrespective of Case of storage of data within the field of Table/Index. Wish to Avoid specifying UPPER Clause in the where Query. NOTE - Data may be stored in Upper or Lower Case in Different fields of the Table. NOTE - In the Previous T-SQL Code on SQL*Server the UPPER Clause was NOT needed. Is it possible?
