I have a simple table to store account names... I want each name to be unique in a case insensitive manner... but I want the case the user enters to be remembered so I can't do a simple lower() on the data's way in.

Is there an easy way to go about this? Am I about to write my first server side function for postgresql?

create your unique index using the lower() function.

and don't steal threads to start a new one (ie, replying then just changing the subject)
