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.

       match
