Kim Haase commented on DERBY-4629:
----------------------------------
Rick, do you think that more is needed here in addition to the work on
DERBY-4627 and DERBY-4628? Or would it still be helpful to have a topic on
"Performing case-insensitive sorts and comparisons" in the "Localizing Derby"
section, in addition to the one on "Creating a case-insensitive database"
further up under "Working with the database connection URL attributes"?
As near as I can tell, you must have a case-insensitive database in order to
perform case-insensitive string sorts -- is that correct?

> Key: DERBY-4629
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4629
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Assignee: Kim Haase
>
> The most frequently asked question about Derby's support for
> language-sensitive strings is this: "How do I get Derby to perform
> case-insensitive sorts and comparisons?" I think that the answer to this
> question could be figured out by a reasonably intrepid reader who understood
> a lot about Java's locale and collation support, perhaps supplemented with a
> fair amount of googling.
> If we made the answer to this question really pop out to the casual reader,
> then I think we would do a great service to our users and to developers and
> tech writers who answer questions on the community lists. Perhaps it would be
> sufficient to add a "Case-insensitive strings" section parallel to
> "Character-based collation in Derby" in the Developer's Guide.
