( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
The code I show above is from a couple years ago when I first began using SQL and everything I've found in the postgresql mailing lists and docs indicated that if I wanted to do a case insensitive search, I needed to use the regex operators of ~* or ~~* and this is why you see the instructions above.

Using an '=' isn't case insensitive but I realize that I could and probably should be using lower() as in SELECT uid FROM accounts WHERE lower(username) = lower(?).

Is this the correct and fastest way to handle this? I realize my questions in this thread are really more geared toward PostgreSQL than perl, but it involves the perl DBI to some degree. And I know my question is a bit rudimentary to DBAs - but I'm not one and your responses are always greatly appreciated. :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
