Subject: Case Sensitive "WHERE" Clauses?

Message-ID: <a05100312b9b8f9c321b3@[63.172.201.5]> (raw)
Are string comparisons in postgresql case sensitive?
I keep on having this response:
SELECT *
FROM People
WHERE first_name='jordan'
Result: 0 records
SELECT *
FROM People
WHERE first_name='Jordan'
Result: 1 record
I though that string matching in SQL was case-insensitive. Isn't this correct? If not, what workarounds have been used successfully before? Obviously, formatting the search string for the query is not a solution...
