Client.get_by_name not using name.first_lower
Hello,
For the character collection, is there a reason Client.get_by_name
is using a query with case(False)
on name.first
instead of a simple query on name.first_lower
:

While the docstring for case
mentions that case-insensitive look-ups are significantly slower and should be avoided when possible, citing the character collection as an example?

Hi, thanks for the report - good catch.
The PS2 datatypes themselves had (now deprecated) overrides that would handle these optimizations, but these will be removed to remove redundancy and clean up the syntax. However, given that there already is a special case to handle the non-standard field name, replacing it with name.first_lower
is a quick fix.
Yes, I asked because it is already a special case, otherwise the argument of genericity would prevail
Fixed in 0.2.3.
