Case-Sensitive |
Select this option to sort and compare data based on the dictionary rules provided for the associated language or alphabet, and to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. If this option is not selected, Analysis Services considers the uppercase and lowercase versions of letters to be equal. Analysis Services does not define whether lowercase letters sort lower or higher in relation to uppercase letters when Case-sensitive is not selected. |
Accent-Sensitive |
Select this option to sort and compare data based on the dictionary rules provided for the associated language or alphabet, and to distinguish between accented and unaccented characters. For example, 'a' is not equal to 'á'. If this option is not selected, Analysis Services considers the accented and unaccented versions of letters to be equal. |
Kana-Sensitive |
Select this option to sort and compare data based on the dictionary rules provided for the associated language or alphabet, and to distinguish between the two types of Japanese kana characters: Hiragana and Katakana. If this option is not selected, Analysis Services considers Hiragana and Katakana characters to be equal. |
Width-Sensitive |
Select this option to sort and compare data based on the dictionary rules provided for the associated language or alphabet, and to distinguish between a single-byte character (half-width) and the same character when represented as a double-byte character (full-width). If this option is not selected, Analysis Services considers the single-byte and double-byte representation of the same character to be equal. |
