Artykuł

The lower-case function converts each character in $arg to its lower case equivalent. The Microsoft Windows binary case conversion for Unicode code points specifies how characters are converted to lower case. This standard is not identical to the mapping for Unicode code point standard.

Examples

A. Changing a string to upper case

The following example changes the input string 'abcDEF!@4' to lower case.

DECLARE @x xml = N'abcDEF!@4';
SELECT @x.value('fn:lower-case(/text()[1])', 'nvarchar(10)');

Here is the result set.

abcdef!@4

B. Search for a specific character string

This example shows you how to use the lower-case function to perform a case insensitive search.
