queries using "LIKE" but ignoring upper or lower case

554285Mar 6 2007 — edited Mar 6 2007

I have a question. I need to query the database in a cursor for a search results page. The thing is that I'm searching for a contact name, lets say, and the name is "Steven". My query "WHERE" clause says:

WHERE contactName LIKE '%steven%';

but it doesnt find it because I understand Oracle is case sensitive. Is there an extension to the LIKE keyword to ignore upper or lowe cases in this type of instance?

Thanks for your help,

Alejandro
