There is more to it than this. You need to define an indexed uppercase "proxy" column in your table to store the uppercase form of the values from the column on which you wish to have a case-insensitive search. Enter the name of this proxy column in the associated field of the CASE INSENSITIVE ColumnAttribute (this field is labelled "Upper Case Equivalent".

Populate this database column automatically by firing BEFORE INSERT and BEFORE UPDATE triggers.
