Not really without doing a little bit of changing to the query (for example using ILIKE rather than LIKE or lower(fruit_name) like 'orange' with an appropriate index on lower(fruit_name). Theoretically, it could perhaps be possible to create a locale which compare 'orange' and 'OraNgE' equally and then initdb in that locale, but I've never tried it so I don't know if it'd work. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
