# Deprecation: #57385 - Deprecate parameter $caseSensitive of Extbase Query->like comparison

See [forge#57385](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/57385)

## Description

The argument `$caseSensitive` of the method `Query->like` has been marked as deprecated.

## Impact

Using the argument will trigger a deprecation log entry.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 installation using custom calls to `Query->like` using the mentioned argument.

## Migration

For MySQL change the collation of the queried field to be stored in a case sensitive fashion.
This requires using a collation with a suffix of `_cs` for the field or table. Alternatively
a binary column type can be used. Both solutions will ensure the field will be queried in a
case sensitive fashion.
