After I heard of someone at my work using String.toLowerCase() to store case-insensitive codes in a database for searchability, I had an epic fail moment thinking about the number of ways that it can go wrong: Turkey test (in particular changing locales on the running computer) Unicode version upgrades - I mean, who knows about this stuff? If I upgrade to Java 7, I have to reindex my data if I'm being case-insensitive? What technologies are affected by Unicode versions? Do I need to worry about Oracle or SQL Server (or other vendors) changing their unicode versions and resulting in one of my
