-    In MySQL, whether or not ``exact`` comparisons are case-insensitive by
-    default. This is controlled by the collation setting on the database
-    tables (this is a database setting, *not* a Django setting).  It is
-    possible to configured you MySQL tables to use case-sensitive comparisons,
-    however there are some trade-offs involved. For more information about
