在oracle10g中可使得排序不區分大小寫

SQL> select * from test order by id;

ID MC
-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
A AAAAA
B BBBBB
a aaaaa
b bbbbb

如果設定session的環境不方便，以可以設定語句級的排序

程式碼:

SQL> select * from test order by id;

ID                   MC
-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
A                    AAAAA
B                    BBBBB
a                    aaaaa
b                    bbbbb

SQL> select * from test order by nlssort(id, 'nls_sort=generic_m_ci');

ID                   MC
-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
A                    AAAAA
a                    aaaaa
B                    BBBBB
b                    bbbbb
