Actually for searches lower will work.
But the other important aspect is 'inserts' which would result 2 rows if the values are 'A' and 'a'. Intent here to have it case insensitive.If CITEXT it will update the same row and works.
CITEXT is an alternative but was wondering if there is any other alternate solution/setting while creating database.
Also does CITEXT fetch via JDBC works the same way as fetch/set string values? Any quick comments here.
