2. What did you expect to see? (Required)

Similar behavior between TiDB and MySQL.

3. What did you see instead (Required)

The default collation behaves case sensitive (binary) for TiDB.

Workaround

Using SET NAMES and/or charset/collation settings in the connection properties when connecting.

TiDB> SET NAMES utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.0004 sec)

TiDB> SELECT 'A' = 'a';
+-----------+
| 'A' = 'a' |
+-----------+
|         1 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.0003 sec)

/type compatibility

dveeden commented 3 years ago

Different client versions behave differently. This might be because some of them might issue a SET NAMES utf8mb4.

wjhuang2016 commented 3 years ago

I think it's documented in https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/mysql-compatibility#default-differences ?

dveeden commented 3 years ago

It indeed is documented, but as this is causing problems for applications it would be good if we can change this to be more compatible.

wjhuang2016 commented 3 years ago

But it will break backward compatibility, I think you can talk to our PM. It's not a technical problem, it's a product problem.

bb7133 commented 3 years ago

IMHO in order to archive 'default case-insensitive collation', we need to set new collation enabled by default firstly. @wjhuang2016 Are you interested in this work?
