Koen Verbeeck shows how you can perform case-insensitive searches in Snowflake DB:
I’m doing a little series on some of the nice features/capabilities in Snowflake (the cloud data warehouse). In each part, I’ll highlight something that I think it’s interesting enough to share. It might be some SQL function that I’d really like to be in SQL Server, it might be something else.
Today I have a small blog post about a neat little function I discovered last week – with thanks to my German colleague, who wants to remain anonymous. The function is called ILIKE and it is syntactic sugar for the combination of UPPER and LIKE.
I’m personally not a fan of case-sensitive collations for data; it’s hard for me to understand the meaningful differences between “dog,” “Dog,” and “DOG.”
