That sounds like the right solution to me...like what I was suggesting
to replace toUpperCase for case sensitivity in general - the problem
with toUpperCase is that converting to upper case is a specific
implementation of a solution to a more general problem - an adaptor
interface like DB should contain expressions of intent, not expressions
of specific solutions.
So DB should have:
ignoreCase()
respectCase() (which for MySQL adds a 'BINARY' prefix to an expression)
ignoreCaseInOrderBy()
respectCaseInOrderBy()
and perhaps others?
If you are going to follow John's suggestion Leon, perhaps you could
look at adding all these?
