Detailed Description

Compares two SQL Identifiers; for example, column names. SQL Identifiers are case and locale insensitive.

Warning: The current implementation handles ASCII identifiers only; For performance reasons, input values are not checked for non-ASCII characters. Future implementations will provide support for all non-ASCII identifiers. Using this comparator now will ensure ease of upgrade in the future.
