How to make "case-insensitive" query in Postgresql?
Is there any way to write case-insensitive queries in PostgreSQL, E.g. I want that following 3 queries return same result.
SELECT id FROM groups where name='administrator'
SELECT id FROM groups where name='ADMINISTRATOR'
SELECT id FROM groups where name='Administrator'
Solution 1:
Use LOWER function to convert the strings to lower case before comparing.
Try this:
SELECT id
FROM groups
WHERE LOWER(name)=LOWER('Administrator')
Solution 2:
using ILIKE
instead of LIKE
SELECT id FROM groups WHERE name ILIKE 'Administrator'
