Not a good solution for me, because I want to preserve case. I don't
want to maintain a second field with the correct case; I might as well
use an integer key.

How does this work? Doesn't the database need to be made aware of the
insensitivity? How would finders work?
I'm confused about how an app server handles this. Any information
would be very helpful :-)
Thanks,
