Hi,

In SQLite under Android 2.1 and 2.2 I have been using 'Collate
UNICODE' to sort and compare values; for sorting it does what I expect
-- it is case-insensitive, and handles the expanded character set
well.

But for comparisons, eg. f = 'something' where f is a text field, it
seems to NOT do case-blind comparions.

Specifically:

On table authors(..., family_name text,...);

I searched for

   select * from authors a where a.family_name = 'Le Guin' Collate
UNICODE

and it returned 0 rows even though there was an entry with family_name
= 'le Guin'.

Am I missing something here? Should I be wrapping both sides of the
'=' in a call to 'Upper()'. I thought that the UNICODE collator for
SQLite was case-insensitive.

If I do wrap both sides in calls to 'Upper()', am I correct in
assuming indexes will not be used?
