searches and case-insensitive regular expression searches? How do I

<P>
The
<I>
~
</I>
operator does regular expression matching, and
<I>
~*
</I>
does case-insensitive regular expression matching. The
case-insensitive variant of
<SMALL>
LIKE
</SMALL>
is called
<SMALL>
ILIKE
</SMALL>
in PostgreSQL 7.1 and later.
</P>
<P>
Case-insensitive equality comparisons are normally expressed as:
<PRE>
SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE lower(col) = 'abc'
</PRE>
This will not use an standard index. However, if you create a
functional index, it will be used:
<PRE>
CREATE INDEX tabindex on tab (lower(col));
</PRE>
