You could have created your table like this: create table MyTable(username text primary key collate NOCASE, ...); Then, plain vanilla = comparison would be case-insensitive (for latin characters A-Z and a-z only, but then LIKE has the same limitation), and would use the index. -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
