Case-insensitive equals using Hibernate Criteria

Question

I\'ve seen Restrictions.ilike(\'property\', \'%value%\'), but would like to generate SQL like: lower(property) = \'value\'. Any ideas?

I used:

Restri         


        

Answer 1

I'm not absolutely sure, but when you use Restriction.eq you obtain a SimpleExpression object, and that object suppports an ignoreCase() operation which I've never tried using but sounds like it could make a difference.

Kudos to Hibernate for not documenting what this method actually does.
