converting to lower case or upper case

here is a code

Code:
column_name="vivek"
column_name2="ViVeK"
column_name=$(echo  $column_name | awk '{print tolower($0)}')
column_name2=$(echo  $column_name2 | awk '{print tolower($0)}')

                       echo "column name 1 lower: $column_name"
                        echo "column name 2 lower: $coulmn_name2"
 
if [[ "$column_name" = "$column_name2" ]]
then
        echo "matching"
fi

but the output is showing as matching even though the output of column_name2 is null... i think the syntax for converting to lower case or upper case is not working.. i even tried typeset -u column_name but this syntax is not working... plz help me out.... SmilieSmilie
