Re: Case sensitivity

Ok the way around this is

SELECT * FROM table WHERE LOWER(name) = LOWER('Word');
SEELCT * FROM table WHERE UPPER(name) = UPPER('Word');

Note that if you have indexes on these fields then they will not work when
upper and lower are used.

To use an index create an index on upper or lower name depending upon what
you want to use
