How can I make SQL case sensitive string comparison on MySQL?
(12 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a Login table in MySql database . . In table there is a column by cname and one of the value is 'Raghu'. My question is when i write the query as
Select *from Login where cname='raghu';
Then it is retrieving the record which contains 'Raghu' . I want it to retrieve according to case . How can I retrieve with case sensitively, values in the data of tables.
Use: 10.1.7.7. The BINARY Operator
The BINARY operator casts the string following it to a binary string. This is an easy way to force a comparison to be done byte by byte rather than character by character.
Select * from Login where binary cname='raghu';
SELECT * from Login WHERE STRCMP(cname,'Raghu')=0;
Can you try this, you can use LOWER FUNCTION in either column name LOWER('cname') or in value LOWER('raghu');
Select *from Login where LOWER(`cname`) = 'raghu';

MySQL: is a SELECT statement case sensitive?

I want to search data with condition name = '%Park%'
this is my sample code in Fiddle.
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/d0e059/12
when I tried in BigQuery, It returns case sensitive result.
data exactly match with 'Park'. not 'PARK','park'
But in mySQL test which I linked,
it returns all alphabetic 'Park' contains 'PARK','park'
(no case sensitive)
Does mySQL originally NO CASE SENSITIVE EVEN IN DATA?
Or did I go wrong in something??
For case in MySQL you can use LIKE BINARY;
SELECT name, host_name, borough, district, price
FROM airbnb
WHERE name LIKE BINARY '%park%';
MySQL like binary

How to escape value keyword in mysql while using Select statement
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have to access a MySQL database that looks like this:
LOG_ID KEY TARGET CREATOR
1 okaytest 297d09d5-55fe faec09c0-159e
I can do the following query:
SELECT * FROM DATABASE WHERE LOG_ID=1
This would return me the column correctly.
But I can't do the following query.
SELECT * FROM DATABASE WHERE KEY='okaytest'
I believe that there might be a problem with the word KEY being a reserved keyword in MySQL, but I have to access that specific database, I can't change it's name and I must select it from the key
try like below by using the backtick `
SELECT * FROM DATABASE WHERE `KEY`='okaytest'
actually for reserve word you have to use this backtick otherwise it will thorow error here is the reserve word list
another options better not to use reserve word or incase of necessary you have use it by using backtick

I have designed java application & mysql database. Textfield also allow to accept whole characters. MySQL database data collation is set to utf8-default & MySQL server version is 5.7. I can type ' character in textfield. But I cannot execute sql syntax with ' in my query.
ex. Name's is not working, but names is working.
Try using an extra ' character
If the name is O'Brain , use it as O''Brain
For example
Select * from employees where name like 'O''Brain'
Make sure you gave same name to your database column name, where you parsing value from the android app.
or
specify your code so we can get more idea.

How to do a regular expression replace in MySQL?
(13 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a table which needs stores some name and i need to replace a few characters before comparing them with another string
For instance, My table data is
abc
ghi:dki
ioe dsa
i read a string from user, which is of the form abc, ghi-dki, ioe-dsa. ie, all blankspaces, multiples spaces and symbols are converted to a hyphon(-). Now i need to compare. something like
SELECT MYCOLUMN FROM MYTABLE WHERE {Converted MYCOLUMN} = 'ghi-dki'
Can someone help me for figuring out which MySQL function can do it?
You can't do a regex replace in MySQL, but you can do a match.
SELECT mycolumn FROM tablename WHERE mycolumn REGEXP Replace('ghi-dki', '-', '^[\s:_-]*$');
Note: I didn't completely fill out the symbols character set, you'll have to add whatever you're using.

MySQL variable format for a "NOT IN" list of values
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
In filtering out some spam, I have two MYSQL statements in one file,
SET #valid_users := '"admin", "jrock", "kmicka", "First Last"'; //etc
Followed by a SELECT like this
SELECT /*stuff*/ /*WHERE*/ /*filters*/ AND User.user_name NOT IN (#valid_users)
When I do this, it acts as if #valid_users is an empty string. (Returns all results). But if I change the clause to NOT IN ('admin', 'jrock', etc) then it works as it should.
Why would a variable in the NOT IN filter not work?
You'll want to take a look at MySQL's find_in_set() function:
SELECT
*
FROM
your_table
WHERE
NOT FIND_IN_SET(User.user_name, #valid_users);
For this to work, the comma-separated list shouldn't contain quotes (unless your usernames actually contain quotes) and should not be padded with spaces:
SET #valid_users := 'admin,jrock,kmicka,First Last';
SqlFiddle Example
To directly answer your question regarding "why would a variable in the NOT IN filter work", it's because #valid_users is being treated as a string and when you pass it to IN(), it's being treated as a single string (i.e. not a set/list). With FIND_IN_SET(), it treats the string in #valid_users as a comma-separated set/list and uses it accordingly.
