If your usernames (or keyString) are case insensitive, store them in a
normalized case (in lowercase for exemple).
You can add an overridden
public void setKeyString(String value) {
if (value != null) {
value = value.toLowerCase();
}
super.setKeyString(value);
}
You may also specify a collation to the column in the database if you want to
preserve case but index and compare as case insensitive.
