Within a very large project, it was found that searching for a user with their username in the user table using a case insensitive search was inefficient. Instead it is proposed that the username input is made to be lowercase prior to executing a database query as the username for each user in the database must be lowercase. This allows for a case sensitive query to find the user data. Essentially we are moving a case insensitive search for a user from SQL into PHP to increase performance.
