Hi
I was told by someone that in order to store text that isn't case sensitive
in comparisons I must use CIText or CI_Text.
I can't find the data type? Also is thisĀ char or varchar data type? Can you
create an index on this data type?
It's provided by a contrib module so not available by default. In
PostgreSQL 9.1 you can just run the following in whichever database
you wish it to be made available in:
CREATE EXTENSION citext;
If you're on 9.0 or below, you will need to run a script, the location
of which varies depending on your platform. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/contrib.html
