#case-insensitivity

  • CITEXT Patch Submitted to PostgreSQL Contrib

    https://justatheory.com/2008/06/citext-patch-submitted

    On Friday, I submitted a patch to add a locale-aware case-insensitive text type as a PostgreSQL contrib module. This has been among my top requests as a feature for PostgreSQL ever since I started using it. And as I started work on yet another application recently, I decided to look into what it would take to just make it happen myself. I’m hopeful that everyone will be able to benefit from this bit of yak shaving.
