Recently I needed to make a case insensitive search on a table in Microsoft SQL Server.
Because I wanted to overcome common incorrect type errors on the names of people, I needed that this particular search be accent insensitive.
After implementing another alternative I found I could do it in a better way:
select * from names
WHERE (name COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI) LIKE '%antonio%'
The list of collations can be obtained by consulting:
SELECT * FROM fn_helpcollations()
