Yes - you simply load a case-insensitive sort order, via sqlloc (on unix,
don't know what the program is called under Windows).

However you should be aware that this will make the entire server case
insensitive - i.e. for *all* string comparisons.

Just to add to what Michael wrote -- with a case-insensitive
character set, you can still manage to do case-sensitive
string comparisons in your SQL statements, but it isn't pretty.
