Thanks for all the replies on this thread—much appreciated. The summary seems 
to be:

1. You can do this at the EOF level, perhaps with some minor gymnastics, and it 
might be inefficient.
2. You should probably do this at the database level, probably by using a 
collation on the column.

We’re using PostgreSQL (via Amazon RDS). Research is suggesting that PostgreSQL 
isn’t going to make this easy via a collation on a column, though there is the 
CITEXT type.

I think that’s where I’ll head. Has anyone used it?
