You could preface all your queries with something like:
select * from foo where lower(bar) = lower('qualifer');
But that seems a bit silly.
And also it would prevent the optimizer from using any indexes on
"bar". Not a good idea.
You could use a functional index to solve that.
CREATE INDEX lower_bar_idx on foo(lower(bar));
