[Gnumed-devel] Upper case / lower case data storage discussion & decisio


From: Jim Busser
Subject: [Gnumed-devel] Upper case / lower case data storage discussion & decisions
Date: Sat, 15 May 2004 00:46:03 -0700

Just wondered whether there had been any discussion or decision to force case into upper or lower for storage (especially for any key fields) , or whether to permit mixed case therefore having to compensate in the code for indexes and searches.

Would we ever want code to translate into "proper" case for example in name fields and maybe address fields, and must these be able to be over-ridden for example the dutch "van" and "de" and the german "von" ?
