Paddy,

 You can't directly but if you CONVERT the string to binary/varbinary you can
compare those

1. Case sensitive restored into a Case insensitive DB

Hey,
I have a case sensitive database in SQL 7.0. I'm trying to convert it
to a case insensitive database in SQL 2000 with no luck...
1. I tried creating a new DB in SQL 2000 (CI) restoring it into that
DB. No luck, the database inherited the case sensitivity.
2. I tried creating the database in SQL 2000 (CI) and using DTS...no
luck. It errored out on the first table.

Someone told me create the DB (CI) and do an SP_ATTACH the data file.
I heard that does not work either.

Any suggestions?
