Using COLLATE in SQL Statements

With the COLLATE clause, you can override whatever the default collation is for a comparison. COLLATE may be used in various parts of SQL statements. Here are some examples:

• With ORDER BY:

  SELECT k FROM t1
  ORDER BY k COLLATE latin1_german2_ci;
  

• With AS:

  SELECT k COLLATE latin1_german2_ci AS k1
  FROM t1
  ORDER BY k1;
  

• With GROUP BY:

  SELECT k FROM t1
  GROUP BY k COLLATE latin1_german2_ci;
  

• With aggregate functions:

  SELECT MAX(k COLLATE latin1_german2_ci)
  FROM t1;
  

• With DISTINCT:

  SELECT DISTINCT k COLLATE latin1_german2_ci FROM t1;
  

• With WHERE:

   SELECT *
   FROM t1
   WHERE _latin1 'Müller' COLLATE latin1_german2_ci = k;
  

   SELECT *
   FROM t1
   WHERE k LIKE _latin1 'Müller' COLLATE latin1_german2_ci;
  

• With HAVING:
