Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

This class contains the constants that represent the possible values for the defaultCollationType parameter of the SQLColumnSchema constructor, as well as the SQLColumnSchema.defaultCollationType property.

These values represent different collation sequences that can be specified for a column in a database table. A collation sequence is a way of sorting and comparing data, for example whether the database differentiates between uppercase and lowercase characters.

For more information about defining and using collation sequences, see the "COLLATE" section in the appendix "SQL support in local databases."

Constant Detail
    

BINARY

Constant
public static const BINARY:String = "binary"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

Indicates that the column is defined to use the BINARY collation sequence. A SQLCollationType.BINARY collation compares two values using their byte values, regardless of the text encoding of the characters.

When binary collation is used with values of the TEXT storage class, the database differentiates between uppercase and lowercase characters when sorting and comparing the column's values.

NO_CASE

Constant 
public static const NO_CASE:String = "noCase"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

Indicates that the column is defined to use the NOCASE collation sequence. A SQLCollationType.NO_CASE collation ignores uppercase and lowercase differences when sorting and comparing two values.
