user = models.User.query.filter_by(username=\"ganye\").first()

Answer 1

You can do it by using either the lower or upper functions in your filter:

from sqlalchemy import func
user = models.User.query.filter(func.lower(User.username) == func.lower("GaNyE")).first()

Another option is to do searching using ilike instead of like:

.query.filter(Model.column.ilike("ganye"))
