Case insensitive where clause in gql query for StringProperty

Question

Using the google appengine datastore, is there a way to perform a gql query that specifies a WHERE clause on a StringProperty datatype that is case insensitive? I am not al

Answer 1

I don't think there is an operator like that in the datastore.

Do you control the input of the category data? If so, you should choose a canonical form to store it in (all lowercase or all uppercase). If you need to store the original case for some reason, then you could just store two columns - one with the original, one with the standardized one. That way you can do a normal WHERE clause.
