There isn't really a case-insensitive mode (for various reasons to do with
locales AFAICT).
There are various case-insensitive comparisons: ILIKE instead of LIKE etc.
A very common approach is to use PG's functional indexes:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE lower(foo_col) LIKE 'blah%';
along with
CREATE INDEX foo_lwr_col ON foo (lower(foo_col));
