Solution 1

Result of this query depends on the type of collation you have chosen.
By default it's case insensitive (CI).
You can change it on database level or on specific column.
Take a look at these articles:

Solution 2

SQL

where username=@username COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS

This will compare the case of username column and the @username parameter being passed in.
