Could a national char implementation that is case insensitive be a solution
here ?
Meaning: is it as simple as setting LC_COLLATE to another value and
configuring
--enable-locale ?
How far is Thomas with the nchar nvarchar types ?
I think national char and national char varying are the correct datatypes
for
such behavior. Although I think the = operator is still case sensitive for
that datatype.
Replacing = or like for the char and varchar or text datatypes is probably
not possible,
because it is used internally, but for nchar ... it should be.
