Why is it that when Oracle has an obvious limitation, people respond like this? The web is pretty much a case-insensitive world. Oracle crows about being all "webified" but it doesn't offer this simple feature. Sure, the data is case-sensitive, but it would be damn nice for the database to allow the developer the ability to turn it off or on based on query needs.
