Reading the “new features” topic “Case insensitive database” for Oracle 12.2 it sounds as if you are back in the last century where data was stored case insensitive. But guess we are all on one page: that’s not what we want to have. In reality this feature is not to store data indepentent but to search and sort data independent of upper or lower case or accents. That’s what “collation” stands for.
