I am working on a project where I am creating a PHP front end to a Postgres database. The schema is new but the data is old. Meaning I had to convert the data from the old Informix DB.

 

Anyway all of the existing data is in all upper case. However new data going in will be in both upper and lower case.(As requested by the customer.)

 

So the question is, how do I perform a case insensitive search? Is there a DB setting I can set to ignore the case?

 

If not, then an example of some PHP code that can do this would be of a great help.

 

Thanks,

Ben
