  1. replace the database field with a non-database field
  2. put the database field on page 0
  3. in the where clause, put something like

    UPPER(ENAME) = NVL(UPPER(:ENAME_DSP),ENAME) 4) in the post query trigger, copy the value of :ENAME into :ENAME_DSP 5) code your post-change/pre-commit trigger accordingly.
