Hi to all, I have the problem that:
select lower('MöB=DCEL') or select upper('MöB=DCEL') are not working =
well.

I read on some forums that there is some locale setting that needs to be =
done here, but could not fix this.

I am using the ASCII encoding.

Please advice.

Thakx.
Andy.

By definition, ASCII does not contain any umlauts.

So I would advise that, first, you switch to an umlaut capable encoding
(e. G. Latin1, Latin9 or UTF-8).

Hi Markus,

I tried different types of encoding, LATIN1 to LATIN 9, still the same
behavior. I read a few forums, but there I couldn't find a concrete answe=
r
for this.

So... still searching.

Best regards,
Andy.
