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

[Jim Busser]

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" ?
