Case sensitivity

Hello,
I'm writing a function witch from an string (nvarchar) gets the characters
and converts them. I have the problem with case sensitivity. I get the
results in small letters but I need them to be in the exact case as the inpu
t
values, and must not change the SQL Server's settings. I've tryed with
char(number), nchar(number), but results are small letters. Can somebody
please help me with my problem?
ThanksHi,
see the following code.. use this logic in your function
DECLARE @.c CHAR
DECLARE @.d CHAR
SET @.c = 'a'
SET @.d = 'B'
DECLARE @.a VARCHAR(126)
SET @.a = ''
SET @.a = @.a + @.c + @.d
PRINT @.a
I hope that this will help you

Thanks|||Sorry it didn't help me. The problem is when I use
if @.c='a'
it returns true for both 'a' and 'A'

no... you can use varbinary upto 8000.
