A colleague of mine needs to extract data from a table where one field has lower case characters (any lower case charcater). Logically this would be the obvious solution...
SELECT my_field FROM my_table where myfield <> UPPER(my_field)
But normally with T-SQL it never yelds results becasuse the default collation is case insensitive. But one can use the COLLATE keyword and use a suitable case sensitive collation order...
SELECT my_field FROM my_table where myfield <> UPPER(my_field) COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AI
Use this to list the available collation tags..
SELECT * FROM fn_helpcollations()
