How to use Jooq to query for a column case-insensitive?

Question

I am using jOOQ with PostgreSQL, and I just realize that my column is case sensitive. Using jOOQ, I didn't found a correct method to query a column, ignoring its case sensitivity. Looking at here : jOOQ TableField Method , I can see that there's equalIgnoreCase . But in the jooq class itself, that method is not there.

Does anybody know what did I do wrong here?

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure if by "case sensitivity", you mean the column content, or the column name.

• If you mean the column content, then you found the right method: Field.equalIgnoreCase() . A usage example:

   create.select() .from(MY_TABLE) .where(MY_TABLE.MY_FIELD.equalIgnoreCase("abc")) .fetch(); 

• If, however, you mean the column name, then you can use the Factory Settings to control how jOOQ renders field and column names. The relevant setting is RenderNameStyle
