That is a very good idea; the collation support was somewhat confusing anyway. If you need to put case-insensitive data into keys to do lookups / range scans etc, just convert them to lowercase at insert-time. You can store the original capitalisation in a column value. Also it makes it consistent with what (e.g.) memcached does. Mark
