Question

Im new to this so here goes.
Trying to get a user called “Bob” from the MongoDb.

I have the:

UserData ud = MonConMan.instance().getDb().find(UserData.class, "name","bob").get();

The “bob” cannot be found if it has capital “Bob”.
I understand i can get a List and do equalsIgnoreCase but are
there some Operators i can use?

I have users logging on and must test to see if they are registered. A user can type his name anyway he likes so must find a way to equalsIgnoreCase. Yea this is a problem, i cannot get all names and do equalsIgnoreCase, if there are like 10,000. One could of course initially save all user names in lowercase but that would destroy the visual appearance of the name.

looking at the wiki but cannot see any..

Answer 1

Ended up keeping two fields like
– lowercaseusername
– originalusername

This way i could search for a user using the lowercaseusername
