I don't know about OpenBase but with Oracle you can create an index on upper(column) and in fact you probably should do so if you're doing caseInsensitiveLikes

Fore OpenBase caseInsensitiveLike gets transmogrified to "like" as that is already
case insensitive in OpenBase-land.

The problem to avoid is that often by comparing to "upper(column)" you bypass
any indexes on that column.

The FrontBase and OpenBase plug-ins avoid this in their handling of this query
component.

OK, let me amend my reply. Still waiting for the coffee to brew. :-) Unless the plugin does this, EOF generates Upper (column) = Upper(value).
That excerpt I pasted was from FrontBasePlugIn ...

Yes, but there are other databases...  :-)
Just clarifying -- I couldn't tell if you were responding to my post,
or to the thread in general.
