I just jotted down some quick notes on case-insensitive database searching with Postgres. I want to add that ability to this blog, and it turns out to be a no-brainer with Postgres, which is the database I use to drive this site. (Technically it's called Postgresql, I just don't like that name.) Assuming that I can't find any good articles on this topic, I'll churn one out soon. Although generally I don't like being tied to any one database, it's hard not to take advantage of a feature like this that can save a few hours of coding, especially when the product is free. Somehow I don't mind being tied into free, open source products. :)
