UltraLite Databases
Databases and schema files
When you create an UltraLite database, you set some database-wide characteristics. These include the following:
Case sensitivity The case sensitivity of a database affects all string comparisons. It must be specified when the database is created because indexes are stored in sorted order, and the order depends on whether the database is case sensitive or not.
Character set The character set of a database also affects sort orders, and must be specified when the database is created.
For more information, see Character sets in UltraLite.
