AFAICT All you need to do is pass the appropriate --lc-collate=locale argument to initdb.
Now, the trick is where to find a locale with case-insensitive collation. I'm afraid I can't help you with that:(
In any event, if you need more/better advice than mine, you could do a lot wordse than subscribing to pgsql-general@postgresql.org. Some of the core developers are regulars there and the advice is absolutely top notch. Very high quality mailing list!
At the risk of being obvious, have you tried using a functional index? Something like: CREATE INDEX table_lower_col_idx ON test (lower(col));
More like a "people with clue" vs. "people with no clue" on the subject.
Techies understand that when this crap gets tolerated we end up with every company involved in handling http requests inserting their random ad junk into the data. This is a bad thing. A non-techie consumer might say: "Geez, I would never knew about this product and it sounds pretty good." And think this is not such a bad thing.
You don't just get this with techies, for example: In hospitals you have the same thing were doctors need to explain why it's bad to get everyone on antibiotics: You get antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Conclusion: This is an educational problem, for all you techies out there: Educate the masses!
Ehm, I wasn't saying they were either arabs or muslims.
The parent was making the point that western civilisation took arab and chinese ideas and no one else was doing anything useful with it.
I just rebutted his claims wrt to the examples he used to try and show that western culture was doing something useful with these inventions and other cultures were not.
Banking and other forms of applied math have developed well beyond anything the Babylonians had. Of course it has, and it will progress well beyond anything we have today. But this has nothing to do with the parents main argument of the superieority of western civilisation.
OK, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt you are not a troll. Hanlan's razor and all that...
Large amounts of it were invented by Arabs, but their religion doesn't permit advanced forms of banking,
Before anyone starts to believe this nonsense, the first evidence of advanced banking was invented by the babylonians. The invention of Banking and Coinage Origins of Banking...but they only ever used it for fireworks to amuse the aristocrats.
And the chinese did most definately use gunpowder for weapons.
That was my point. That, and the fact that things haven't always been like they are now. Unless we have a global political polarisation like during the cold war, the US government will have to come around. And some future US government will go on record apologising for the current administration.
It's the same focus group over and over and over and over... again.
I'd appreciate it if you could drop me an e-mail if you're willing fill-in for me some time. The pay is pretty good but it's getting tedious, I could use some time away from the responsibility....

The lameness filter thinks, I should add some more . But I think the list above about covers it.
Apparently There's still more to type so here goes:
If you want the latest and greatest: pay up.
If you want something cheaper: buy last years tech.
If you want the latest and greatest against last years tech prices: Grow up!
Increasing the education of the general populous and raising their standard of living will have little effect on stopping terrorism.
You're honestly claiming that improving the standard of living for people does not lower the number of people pissed off and desperate enough to fly themselves to death into skyscraper or blow themselves up in public places?
and sadly comparison is the root of discontentment.
That closing the gap between the haves and the havenot's does not make the havenots less discontent when they do their comparing?
Absolute truth does exist, and when man's worldview and life choices contradict that, it leads to conflict within himself and with other people.
I'm not sure the absolute truth exists and I'm positive that as soon as you think you know what the absolute truth is, based on your limited perspective on the world, it gets harder and harder to keep track of the truth. Humans are stubborn creatures that way.
Besides most of the time people claiming to know the absolute truth scare the hell out of me. As soon as you know the absolute truth, it's often a small step to trying impose your absolute truth on others, by force if need be. It's a slippery slope from knowing the absolute truth to becoming an extremist in imposing the one-true-way on others.
Conflict is inevitable in the world. The question is this: "Is your side of the conflict in sync with what is objectively true, or is it merely your opinion that you're fighting for?"
As soon as you feel strongly about the conflict at hand, chances are you are (or feel yourself) a party to the conflict. And your chances of finding the objective truth are basically out the window.
And that's the objective, absolute truth, or at least the way it looks from my perspective;)

You are not a non-profit ORGanisation just because you are not making a proift. Being an organization is part of it, despite of the fact that americans are too lazy to be bothered to spell it out. By your rationale any organization that is not turning a profit, which in light of current economic trends is about any commercial entity, can pick up a.org?
It seems that in part this is because of the fact that they take some form of editorial responsibiblity for the postings from users:
Voorts heeft Indymedia niet aannemelijk gemaakt dat zij niet in staat is de hyperlinks te verwijderen van haar website. Zij stelt immers zelf dat zij zich het recht voorbehoud om bepaalde berichten, onder meer 'gejatte soft ware en puur fascistische bijdragen', te verwijderen, zodat niet valt in te zien waarom zij niet ook de hier aan de orde zijnde hyperlinks zou kunnen verwijderen.
Roughly Translated:
Furthermore Indymedia has not made it clear that she (???) is not able to remove the hyperlinks from her website. She reserves the right to remove certain postings amongst others 'stolen software and purely fascist postings', so it is not plausible she would not be able to also remove the postings in question.
If some people can't bring forth life, there's probably a good reason, eg;disease,genes,whatever...
Pass it along in perfect replication-sounds like a sorry idea to me.
It might be a sorry idea, but there's not much we'll be doning about it. Because these clones will probably 'bring forth life' they'll just be doing it in labs. Maybe all the effort involved in growing a reproductory system in humans could be done away with and be used for growing a larger brain or whatever evolution feels would prove to be a useful addition to the human machine. (that's why it could be good)
On the other hand if some future catastrophy leaves us without the possibility to clone and evolution has done away with the natural reproduction system. (that's why it could be bad)
The thing is evolution doesn't care about what strategy will be succesful tomorrow, only what has proven succesful yesterday, and the human race doesn't exactly have a track record of being particularly visionary,.....
Hmm,.. I realise I need some clever way of finishing this comment, but I don't have the time come up with one so I'll leave it at this.
I'd suggest go for the orifice on question three, shoot it on film and use it to test the waters for distributing movies online. There seems to be plenty of market for selling that kind of shady crap online.
So maybe if people are willing to pay for access to that kind of material online, your average holywood blockbuster might actually net a buck or two online.

Now, the trick is where to find a locale with case-insensitive collation. I'm afraid I can't help you with that

At the risk of being obvious, have you tried using a functional index? Something like:
CREATE INDEX table_lower_col_idx ON test (lower(col));
Hmm, you could use a case insensitive collation at initdb time.
However, this would make the whole DB case insensitive, not just a few columns.
I'm not sure how much impact this has on performance.

but how did you like the bookreview?
Actually the 'Sturm' in Strurmbahn means something more like charge.
A 'Sturnmbahn' is an abstacle course used for training.
So probably nothign much to shudder about
