EXACT

Updated: 30 April 2009

Use EXACT to compare two text strings. EXACT returns TRUE if they are exactly the same, FALSE otherwise.
Syntax
SELECT [wctString].[wct].[EXACT] (
   <@Text1, nvarchar(max),>
 ,<@Text2, nvarchar(max),>
 ,<@CaseSensitive, bit,>)
Arguments
@Text1
is the first text to be evaluated. The @Text1 argument can be of data types that are implicitly convertible to nvarchar or ntext.
 
@Text2
is the secdon text to be evaluated. The @Text2 argument can be of data types that are implicitly convertible to nvarchar or ntext.
 
@CaseSensitive
