The system(code) was originally written for MS SQL server ,what I am
doing now is only migration MS SQL -> PostgreSQL server. There is a
possibility in MS SQL server to choose between case-sensitive or
case-insensitive seraches. By default it was case-insensitive ,so code
was written for case-insensitive searches. I think it is not a very
big deal,when you need to choose for example November ,or november
,that is what I want for example.(November=november)

In case-insensitive world yes.

Or wait until (if so) there will be possibility in POstgreSQL server
to make smething like case-insensitive searches.
