Ilike

Ilike (insensitive like) expression added for postgres support

[Majkl578]

Ilike is platform-dependent, it should not be part of Doctrine itself.
By the way, this might be a good time to propose some kind of user-land AST extendability. Once I wanted to extend AST by custom syntax and found out it is not possible at all.

You probably meant testILikeExpr, since this one is already declared.

According to the SQL standard LIKE is supposed to be case insensitive.. PostgreSQL makes it case sensitive so ORM should use ILIKE on PostgreSQL platform by default. However changing this would be a BC break.

The same is a problem for Sqlite which is case sensitive by default afaik, in MySQL it depends on the collation. I don't think we can find a sufficient solution here that works on all platforms.

I have to reject this PR, because its PostgreSQL specific and DQL is platform independent. You can "fix" this for you, by extending the PostgreSQLPlatform in DBAL and changing the LIKE Expression for Postrgres.

Sorry to dig that up, but there is no getLikeExpression() or something like that, LIKE is hardcoded here I believe : https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/blob/c1943624ab1260c629316bab104dc5130c060154/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Query/SqlWalker.php#L2162

What @beberlei meant here is probably defining a custom DQL string function.

Thanks for clarifying that.
