To make the database use case-insensitive searches, specify an explicit strength lower than TERTIARY with the collation=collation attribute. The strength name is appended to TERRITORY_BASED with a colon to separate them.
For example, you could specify the following connection URL:
With strength PRIMARY, the characters 'A' and 'a' will be considered equal, as well as 'à' ('a' with a grave accent). (This behavior is commonly the default with many other databases.) To make searches respect differences in accent, use strength SECONDARY.
The exact interpretation of the strength part of the attribute depends upon the locale.
