If you are dealing with say a chinese char set then wouldn't you want to 
handle this at a "global" level by modifying the database characteristics, then 
maybe a Pragma command would be the way to go.

It would indeed.  But more importantly, this technique only
works for case comparisons.  I'm looking for a general solution 
that will work on any collating sequence, such as comparison
