    use the query:select column_name from table_name where cast(column_name as varbimary)=cast('FAHIEN' as varbinary):)

    Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason so few engage in it.

    You could also use the COLLATE keyword (e.g. if you do not want binary comparison, you still want to compare the strings based on language rules).

    example:

    select 1 where 'FAHEEM' = 'faheem' COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CS_AS

    The above will use the Latin1 collation with case sensitivity and accent sensitivity.

    And, Andras' method will allow an index to be used if there is one. The conversions to VarBinary will not.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
