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..
