i don't know if this helps, but i recently ran across a query both in the
Fossil SCM and in SVN (via a post on this list) which does something
similar for paths:
char const * zCollation = fsl_cx_filename_collation(f);
rc = fsl_db_prepare(db, &st,
"SELECT id FROM vfile WHERE vid=%"FSL_ID_T_PFMT
" AND (pathname=%Q %s "
"OR (pathname>'%q/' %s AND pathname<'%q0' %s))",
(fsl_id_t)vid,
zName, zCollation, zName,
zCollation, zName, zCollation )
that zCollation part resolves to either an empty string or "COLLATE
nocase," depending on application-level settings. zPath is a filename or
dir name. the 'vid' part there is not relevant for you, but the pathname
conditions sound similar to what you are trying to achieve.
