The subject has been discussed on this mailing list before, recently.
To be able to switch from SQL Server to Postgresql, for me this is
essential.
Therefore the question: are there plans to create a set of case
insensitive, and maybe also accent insensitive collations in the near
future?
I have no idea how complex this is, but it seems to me, looking at MySQL
and SQL Server that it's not such a strange thing to expect from a database
server.
I know I can use "lower" (even on indexes) and citext, but this feels like
patchwork, and would mean a lot of work when converting our database (with
122 tables).
Regards,
Marcel van Pinxteren
