Subject Re: [IBO] Case-insensitive sorting
Author Svein Erling Tysvaer
Hi Antti!

I think there are two different ways to get case insensitive sorting,
one is to use a case insensitive character set (or maybe it is
collation?), the other is to add another column that should contain the
uppercase equivalent of your column, populate this column through
insert/update triggers and then specify this field as the uppercase
equivalent of your mixed case field and then IBO does the rest
(unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the property, but it is one
simple property relating to the field in your TIB_Query).

HTH,
Set
