This seems like it should be a silly question, but you never know. And I'd rather find out now.

Given a table that needs to be indexed on a field that is text (names, for instance). Can I allow mixed upper/lower case to be stored in the field, and index the table using a function that converts the field to all upper case? (using 8i). Or is there some non-intuitive gotcha that will either prevent this or cause a full-table scan in all cases?
