Yes, correct.

In 2.0 will be added new flag

    fIndexed + fCaseInsensetive

So developer will be able easy make search on SOME fields to be case
insensitive.

By the way, today you can get this behavior using BaseObject Methods.
Do you know about this?

What you mean? Size of Valentina database files is big ???

You can regulate this by SegmentSize in db.Create().
And this affect in fact size only while there is no many data.

I believe that if you put many data into database, then Valentina has one of
them most compact db files.

You think no?
