I don't know if you can, but this mail list post: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/1998-09/msg00069.php suggests the following examples: >> > > SELECT * FROM series WHERE upper(NAME) = 'INDIA' >> > > or >> > > SELECT * FROM series WHERE NAME ~* '^india$' The first is probably the most portable. It selects rows where the uppercase value of the NAME column is 'INDIA'. It should work on any SQL server that provides an "upper" function. The second example matches a case-insensitive regex. I've never seen this syntax before, and assume that it's PostgreSQL-specific. :)
