thank you.
My language has letters in õäöüþð with correstonding upper case letters
ÕÄÖÜÞÐ
I need to prevent entering of duplicate customer names into database.
For this I created unique index on UPPER(customer_name)
I need also search for customer name in case-insensitive way. For this I use
ILIKE operator.
Those two features are working in Postgres 8.1 when I use non-C locale.
If I switch to C locale, they will not work.
My current database, Microsoft Visual Foxpro implements this functionality.
How to implement this functionality in Postgres if I switch to C locale ?
Andrus.
