It's provided by a contrib module so not available by default. In PostgreSQL 9.1 you can just run the following in whichever database you wish it to be made available in: CREATE EXTENSION citext; If you're on 9.0 or below, you will need to run a script, the location of which varies depending on your platform. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/contrib.html Regards Thom -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
