Explicitly document how to get case-insensitive sorts and comparisons of
string data
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-4629
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4629
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 10.6.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
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.
