I am designing an ASP interface for either Access, SQLServer or Oracle, depending upon the end user's database. I have found that my SQL statements are case sensitive when tested on an Oracle DB--is there any thing I can do on my side to get around this or does the problem lie in the database?

Sara,
Oracle reserved words, table names, and column names are not case sensitive; SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES works the same as select table_name from user_tables. Values in character fields are case sensitive, if a name is stored as 'SMITH', then WHERE name = 'Smith' will not find it.
Hope this helps,
Paul
