Does Lower make indexes useless?

Clemens Eisserer 5 May 2006 22:09:01
 Hi,

I am using queries very often which look like "... WHERE
LOWER(field)='..';"­ to allow case-insensitive search on varchar
columns.

Does this make indexes useless or are there algorythmns which allow
using indexes even in this case?
Are there ways how this could be done in a better way?

Thank you in advance, lg Clemens

This question has nothing to do with Java or JDBC, so this isn't the right
list. You should try -novice or -general.

 Sorry for the traffic, I was already subscribed and I was too lazy.
