MySQLdb compare lower
 

Hello guys,

Excuse me for the noob question, but is there a way to compare a field
in mysql as lower() somehow?

I have a situation where I compare the SKU in my DB and there are some
SKU that are with lowercase and some with uppercase, how can I solve
this in your opinion ?

def Update_SQL(price, sku):

db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","getit","opencart",
use_unicode=True, charset="utf8")
cursor = db.cursor()
sql = "UPDATE product SET price=%s WHERE sku=%s"
cursor.execute(sql, (price, sku))
db.commit()
db.close()


Thanks

I think this will work:

sql = 'UPDATE product SET price=%s WHERE LOWER(sku)=%s'
cursor.execute(sql, (price, sku.lower())

Thanks John, this works, I was about to make double check with lower
and upper, but this saves me :)

Thanks a lot.
