SqlExpression Creating Upper SQL Query












0














I have the following code:



SqlExpression<Postcodes> sqlExpression = db.From<Postcodes>()
.Where(x => x.CityId.StartsWith(searchString))
.OrderBy(x => x.CityId)
.ThenBy(x => x.ZipCode)
.Take(take);


When I look in debug, I can see that sqlExpression.BodyExpression has:



FROM "search"."Postcodes"
WHERE upper("CityId") like @0


Why does it generate "upper" even though I didn't use x.CityId.ToUpper()?



Update:
When I use "nort" as the input, I can see this in the debug output:



2018-11-23 07:37:22,781 [21] DEBUG ServiceStack.OrmLite.OrmLiteReadCommandExtensions [(null)] - SQL: SELECT TOP 100 "ZipCode", "CityId", "StateId" 
FROM "search"."Postcodes"
WHERE upper("CityId") like @0
ORDER BY "CityId", "ZipCode"
PARAMS: @0=NORT%


Looks like by default it's using case insensitive matching.



Why is the default case insensitive and how could I force it to do a case sensitive match?



Update:
As Gabitu pointed out, it just makes the column name upper case and doesn't affect the query. What is the point in making the column name upper case?

I think it is doing Upper to your column name, so it wouldn't affect your query at all.



The query will be something like the following:



SELECT * 
FROM "search"."Postcodes"
WHERE CITYID like @0
ORDER BY "CityId"


Probably is making it uppercase because your column is case insensitive. Check whether your column is sensitive or insensitive with the following command:



SELECT COLUMN_NAME, COLLATION_NAME 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE
TABLE_NAME = 'Postcodes' AND
CHARACTER_SET_NAME IS NOT NULL AND
TABLE_SCHEMA = 'search'
