Hello, I would like to perform some accent-insensitive searches on my database, which means that a select query with condition, say, WHERE NAME = 'HELLĂ”' would return records where name is 'HELLO' as well.
My data is encoded in Unicode (UTF8) and therefore I cannot use Postgre's to_ascii() trick to achieve accent-insensitive searches. Is there any way I could perform such searches with an UTF8 encoding ? Thank you. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
