I need to ignore case of characters and encoding I use is UTF-8. I am aware of text_pattern_ops and stuff, though FAQ says ILIKE does not use indexes.You at the very least would need a text_pattern_ops index on lower(colname). At that, I'm not sure whether it would work or whether you need to rephrase your query as: lower(a) like lower(b) Hope this helps, --Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@xxxxxxxxx> http://svana.org/ kleptog/Patent. n.
