Regular expression operator, ~* (Can't use indexes)
You can still use LIKE but you have to do it like :
SELECT * FROM names WHERE lower(firstname) LIKE lower('Mitch');
If you wanted to make this use indexes, you could create the index using
lower(fieldname) .. Something like :
CREATE INDEX on names lower(firstname)
Good luck!
