hello together,



we are having a field "name" in our table. Now we want to seach not
case-sensitive. If we use lowercase of the field and the searchstring, the
database uses full-table-scan. Is it possible to use the function lowercase
(?) in an index on field "name"? We must support ORACLE 7.3 till 9.x.



thank you



Jörg
