Hi folks,
I am currently migrating some of my Java EE applications to PostgreSQL 9.0.3 and I am experiencing a serious problem with accents sensitivity.
PostgreSQL is case sensitive and accent sensitive and these parameters cannot be changed. We use ejb.finder (EJB-QL) and jBoss-QL in order to run simple queries in our applications. The following statement returns a User object based on a userID and/or a user login name.
For the case sensitivity, I just had to surround "u.strUserLoginName" and "?2" with a LCASE statement.
Now I am looking to find a way to strip accents so the query would return "Stephane" and "Stéphane" when searching "stephane" or "stéphane".
Thank you very much for help.
Charles
* @ejb.finder
* view-type = "local"
* query="SELECT OBJECT(u) FROM User u WHERE u.intUserId <> ?1 AND u.strUserLoginName = ?2"
* signature = "stirq.lds.ejb.entity.User findByLoginName(java.lang.Integer intUserId, java.lang.String strUserLoginName)"
