Case insensitive LIKE ??

Hi, By default the LIKE criteria of MonetDB returns results by matching the exact case of the search word (MonetDB Jan 2014 SP1 Mac). How to make the LIKE criteria to do a case insensitive search by default?? (Something like the BINARY keyword that does case sensitive search in MySQL??) I don't wish to add a workaround like "LOWER(column) like LOWER(searchword)" here.. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Thanks & Regards, Vijayakrishna.P. Mobile : (+91) 9500402305.
