Re: case insensitive sorting & searching in oracle 10g - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

I don't like the solution. "Select ... order by ..." should be self-contained
and not dependant of some settings. Case-insensitive sort should be specified
in the order-by-clause like "select ... order by lower(a)".
