Hi all, After some days of feedback and working with lifo, the patch for fixing case sensitivity in validate_uniqueness_of as get a lot better. I sent an email to the list, before but the patch has gone through some refactoring and new review may be needed. The initial problem was the bug that :case_sensitive => true, wasn''t working at all, and this *was* the default. People may already be using this functionality and having wrong results. Since MySQL/Postgresql aren''t case sensitive (sqlite is) the only way to achieve this is doing a ruby comparison, so instead doing a "find(:first)" this version does a select_all (with construct_finder_sql), so that in case ruby case sensitive comparison is required, the comparison is done with a hash and not objects. The default was also changed from true to false, "Because, people must have built their apps thinking case sensitivity is off ( as it didn''t work before )" as Pratik said.
