Case insensitivity in Oracle 7.3 ???

I'd appreciate some advice on how one could go about 'faking' case-insensitive columns in a case-sensitive Oracle 7.3 database. We are going to migrate our database from a case_insensitive SQL Anywhere platform, and we want to store the actual case the user typed in, but have case insensitivity for purposes of searching/matching. I can think of one solution involving adding forced upper case columns for indexing and searching of text fields, but am hoping that there is a better way...
