Subj:   Re: Column Compress Question

  One other thing to be aware of. If you have CASESPECIFIC specified on the column, then you must specify your charater string with the same mix of upper and lower characters.  


  So, to compress 'ABCdef' you should specify  


  COMPRESS 'ABCdef'  


  If NOT CASESPECIFIC then any combination works.  



No, you still have to specify the right mixture of uppercase/lowercase characters, because otherwise any combination would be stored as 'ABCdef'. A DBMS is supposed to store the string you submitted and not a different one
