| Query language keywords such as SELECT, NULL, DATE, and <TRACE> are case-insensitive. Identifiers such as attribute names, method names, and path expressions are case-sensitive. |
| |
| In terms of query string and region entry matching, if you want to perform a case-insensitive search on a particular field, you can use the Java String class `toUpperCase` and `toLowerCase` methods in your query. For example: |
| |
| ``` pre |
| SELECT entry.value FROM /exampleRegion.entries entry WHERE entry.value.toUpperCase LIKE '%BAR%' |
| ``` |
| |
| or |
| |
| ``` pre |
| SELECT * FROM /exampleRegion WHERE foo.toLowerCase LIKE '%bar%' |
| ``` |
| |
