You can use the regular expression (powerful pattern matching) syntax:
SELECT * FROM xyz WHERE field ~* '.*bud';
The ~* is a case insensitive pattern match operator, and (as an example of
a regular expression) '.*bud' matches zero or more characters followed by
'bud'

Hope that helps,

Hello!
I have a database with city names, so the first letter is capitalised.
I want to let the user search for part of the city name. How can I do case
insensitive for this? You know "... like '%bud%';" won't find Budapest.
Thanks in advance,
Laszlo Boszormenyi
