How do you write a case insensitive query for both MySQL and Postgres?

Question

I\'m running a MySQL database locally for development, but deploying to Heroku which uses Postgres. Heroku handles almost everything, but my case-insensitive Like statements

Answer 1

In postgres, you can do this:

SELECT whatever FROM mytable WHERE something ILIKE 'match this';

I'm not sure if there is an equivalent for MySQL but you can always do this which is a bit ugly but should work in both MySQL and postgres:

SELECT whatever FROM mytable WHERE UPPER(something) = UPPER('match this');
