I doubt, if we can cache the table if there are frequent inserts/updates. The good idea would be to get the DB to case insenstive configuration like SQL Server. I would go for this solution, if postgres supports.

you need an INDEX on lower(field) or upper(field). this is only computed when values are inserted.

if you like a specific feature of SQL Server, then by all means, use SQL Server. postgres does not and will not support automatic case insensitive data.
