Not that I know of, but if you don't do binary (case-sensitive) searching then does it really matter?? You can retrieve with LOWER, or put it in your application, if your application needs to display it that way.

I have column and I want to make sure the db is always making sure the value that gets input into this VARCHAR() column is always lowercase; Is there a way to set the value of a column within a table to automatically be lowercase. I know how to use the LOWER() function when performing queries but is there a way to define LOWER( ) within the definition of the table column itself without having the application specify LOWER( ) to any value passed to this column or if a record had to be manually input and the admin forgot to make sure all the characters were lowercase.
