| gave the same results as:
| select * from table where field = 'BLah';
|
| I was shocked. (a) because I know a lot of my code could be easier to
| write, and (b) that their code would break on every other database I am
| aware of. Does anyone know about this?

Well, I quite don't see any difference with writing :
select * from table where lower(field) = lower('BLah');
