But, beware of the following (From Metalink Note:30779.1):
Setting NLS_SORT to anything other than BINARY causes a sort to use a full
table scan, regardless of the path chosen by the optimizer. BINARY is the
exception because indexes are built according to a binary order of keys. Thus
the optimizer can use an index to satisfy the ORDER BY clause when NLS_SORT is
set to BINARY. If NLS_SORT is set to any linguistic sort, the optimizer must
include a full table scan and a full sort in the execution plan.

We are setting up an application (third-party out-of the-box type) and the
group that is setting it up would like to set it up so that when users
search for records the searches are NOT case sensitive.
Is there an Oracle database setting that would facilitate this? The
application vendor said it is a database issue and has to be set on the
database side.
