Others have addressed the situation where you are sorting the records. What
I've seen is the situation where you are searching for a particular record.
You end up with the situation with
WHERE UPPER('my search string') = UPPER(column)
As DBA, you can support this by creating a FBI (function-based index) on the
column.
The vendor must support this by including syntax such as the above in the
SQL they create. If the vendor doesn't support this syntax, then your only
alternative is to train your users to enter all data with a consistent case.
