SELECT whatever FROM wherever WHERE lower(yourfield) = 'this';
You can do it with a case inseneitive regex search but they can't use
indexes and can become very slow on large tables..
SELECT whatever FROM wherever WHERE yourfield ~* 'this';
lower() does leak a bit of memory from what I've heard on the list but I'm
sure someone is working on it..
