Last counter-question .... is case-insensitivity part of the SQL spec?

If so, then full-speed ahead.

If not, I'd rather see all vendors get closer to the spec rather than have each march in it's own direction on some 'convenience' mechanisms. (I find the deviation from spec that each vendor has to be totally disgusting.)

I've never found this issue a short-coming. IMO, "limitations" with acceptable(?) workarounds are not necessarily limitations, although they might be irritations. I really don't find this an obvious limitation.
