oops. misread what you wrote. &nbsp;You can use a query like this:<br />
<br />
select * from yourtable where cast(ID as varbinary(100)) &lt;&gt;&nbsp;cast(upper(ID) as varbinary(100))<br />
<br />
and your varbinary can be as small as your IDs are

Perfect! &nbsp;It worked! &nbsp;Thanks so much!

I have a table in my SQL Server 2005 database that contains customer IDs. &nbsp;Example:<br />
CULSTA2<br />
culsta2<br />
BILBOA<br />
SUNSUP<br />
AQUCON<br />
aqucon<br />
<br />
and so on. &nbsp;I need to be able to identify anytime there's an entry of any lower case entry, separate from the correct entry of all upper case. &nbsp;My database is set as case-insensitive but the application that uses it interprets the data differently if it is lower case rather than all upper case.<br />
<br />
So in the set shown above, I'd just be looking for culsta2 and aqucon, and NOT CULSTA2 or AQUCON.<br />
<br />
Help?<br />
Thanks<br />

Search for lowercase instances in a case-insensitive column

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
