Description

The LOWER() function converts the characters in the character expression <expC> to lower case. This function is particularly useful if used in index keys and their corresponding SEEK expressions, since a search expression in lower case will match both upper and lower case characters.


Example

? lower("Recital")
recital
 
// Another Example
use accounts
index on lower(company) to company
replace company with "Company Name"
seek "company name"
? found()
.T.
