Hi,
this should be really easy, but I haven't been able to come up with the
answer.
Here's what I want to do:
SELECT * FROM names WHERE recID >0 ORDER BY lastname asc, firstname asc
no_case
which doesn't work, so I tried
SELECT * FROM names WHERE recID >0 ORDER BY upper(lastname) asc,
upper(firstname) asc
which also doesn't work
Unfortunately, I can't force the case of the names stored in the table,
and some of them are only a first name.
Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to create duplicate fields
in the database in all uppercase and order by them?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Martin
