How does one handle case sensitivity with string searches using the LIKE operator?
If I have something like: select * from employee where lastname LIKE "ha%" But I want to get all possibilities regardless of case sensitivity - harris, Harris HArris HARRIS haRRis...

Is this possible with straight SQL against an Oracle database?
