Of course the example looks like a lesson insilliness on
its own. But it's only test for a situation where the
string to look for is entered by the end user in a GUI.

On the other hand, even when entering the query myself on
the console, I may want to make Firebird to the uppercasing
on both sides of the equal sign, to be sure no disagrement
about the correct uppercasing occurs. For example, in a another
locale 'Füße' may have been uppercased to 'FÜSSE' or even
'FÜSZE'.
