hi,
look into the nls_sort setting for your session/db.
I'm not sure you can do what you want in 9.2, you may need to go to 10gr2
for that.

I'm talking here about case-insensitive comparisons, the data you retrieve (
i.e. what the SQL returns will always be what you have in the DB, it will
not automatically UPPER or LOWER your char data.

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?



Target Oracle ver = 9.2
