On IRC, some of us came to the conclusion that choosing either
PostgreSQL or MySQL is a strategical choice, depending of what companies
want in terms of intrinsic properties. In the same way some users like
*nix case-sensitiveness, some others prefer windows case-insensitiveness.
Forcing all comparisons to be case-insensitive would require to rewrite
98% of all SQL queries!! .... or to find another way to force Pg to be
case-insensitive. But it appears that is *not* possible to change this
behavior in PostgreSQL, at all. I don't know how Oracle behaves, though.
No matter what we choose, it won't be a simple problem to fix. :(
