I agree with you in general. But in this specific case, a walk by merge request should be acceptable. To anyone who is familiar with Java enought to be able to work on performance sensitive code, the described change is a no brainer. It doe

According to the documentation of Postgres 12 [1] it is possible to use so called non-deterministic collations, which may express case-insensitivity. If that is what you need. The documentation of Postgres 11 [2] states that this was not po
