Re: Best way to store case-insensitive data?

From this site:

http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/citext.html

I couldn't tell if you still had to create an index on the lower case
value. It seems that it basically mimics the WHERE LOWER(email) =
LOWER(?) method. Since this part is incredibly performance critical,
maybe I'm better off storing my data all in lowercase and keeping the
DB case sensitive.
