Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-1478:
----------------------------------------
Do we envision using this feature to provide case-insensitive searching
support? For example,
if I had a column in my database named "STATE_NAME", and I wanted to set things
up so
that "WHERE STATE_NAME='New York'" and "WHERE STATE_NAME='NEW YORK'" both
selected the same set of rows, could I use this collation feature to do that?
> Add built in language based ordering and like processing to Derby

> It would be good for Derby to have built in Language based ordering based on
> locale specific Collator.
> Language based ordering is an important feature for international deployment.
> DERBY-533 offers one implementation option for this but according to the
> discussion in that issue National Character Types carry a fair amount of
> baggage with them especially in the form of concerns about conversion to
> and from datetime and number types. Rick mentioned SQL language for
> collations as an option for language based ordering. There may be other
> options too, but I thought it worthwhile to add an issue for the high level
> functional concern, so the best choice can be made for implementation without
> assuming that National Character Types is the only solution.
> For possible 10.1 workaround and examples see:
