PostgreSQL: Case insensitive string comparison

Question

Is there a simple ignore-case-comparison for PostgreSQL?

I want to replace:

SELECT id, user_name 
    FROM users 
        WHERE lower(email) IN (lowe         


        

Answer 1

select * 
where email ilike 'me@example.com'

ilike is similar to like but case insensitive. For escape character use replace()

where email ilike replace(replace(replace($1, '~', '~~'), '%', '~%'), '_', '~_') escape '~'

or you could create a function to escape text; for array of text use

where email ilike any(array['adamB@a.com', 'eveA@b.com'])
