validates_uniqueness_of is case_sensitive by default
Reported by Trotter Cashion | August 22nd, 2008 @ 03:33 PM | in 2.1.2
The ActiveRecord docs claim that validates_uniqueness of is case_insensitive by default, but the code claims that it is case sensitive. See this paste from Rails 2.1 to see what I'm talking about. The bug also exists in edge.
I would prefer that validates_uniqueness_of is case_insensitive by default. I'll make a patch w/ test when I have time.

I think the default should be the same as the database default.
MySQL, for example, is case insensitive. I don't know if all are case insensitive.

As it is, it seems that either the docs or the method need to be changed.

It is intended to be case sensitive by default, there is an explicit commit that says so, but somehow during a documentation mass-update in http://github.com/rails/rails/co... it got flipped to false (still correct in edge though).
