Mixed case search in sql

["Valerio Vincenti" <VVincenti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Group,

I apologize in advance if I'm posting on the wrong list or if this issue has 
already come up in the past (I couldn't find any reference in the archives).

My goal is to code a sql statement to retrieve records based  on a wildcard 
search on the street name. The sql will be embedded in an inquiry program which 
is meant to reload the subfile according to the user selection.

In our shop, Street Addresses are stored in mixed case (ie: Marye Rd).

A statement like: select street from lib/file where street like '%marye%', 
finds 'marye Rd' but not 'Marye Rd'.

In query I can resolve this problem by specifying option# 3 on the collating 
sequence to make the search not case sensitive.

Is there a similar method to be used in sql? I tried to compare the qmqry 
sources of a query that uses the standard collating sequence and of another one 
that uses the type 3 collating sequence, but they look identical.


Thanks for any help on this matter.
