Yes, indeed!  I'm stupid!  I was searching a constraint form while the creation 
of an UNIQUE index makes the job too!

The following form is not valid:

ALTER TABLE MyTable
  ADD CONSTRAINT UNQ_MyTable_MyColumn
      UNIQUE (lower(MyColumn));

But your form makes the expected job:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IDX_MyTable_MyColumn
  ON MyTable (lower(MyColumn));

Thanks,
