+title: CITEXT
+summary: The CITEXT data type stores case-insensitive text values.
+toc: true
+docs_area: reference.sql
+---
+
+The `CITEXT` [data type]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/data-types.md %}) represents a case-insensitive string. Like `STRING` values, `CITEXT` values preserve their casing when stored and retrieved. Unlike `STRING` values, comparisons between `CITEXT` values are case-insensitive for all [Unicode characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters) that have a defined uppercase/lowercase mapping (e.g., `'É' = 'é'`).
+
+Equality operators (`=`, `!=`, `<>`) and ordering operators (`<`, `>`, etc.) treat `CITEXT` values as case-insensitive by default. Refer to the [example](#example). 
+
+{{site.data.alerts.callout_success}}
+`CITEXT` compares values as a `STRING` column with the `und-u-ks-level2` [collation]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/collate.md %}), meaning it is case-insensitive but accent-sensitive.
+{{site.data.alerts.end}}
+
+## Syntax
+
+To declare a `CITEXT` column, use the type name directly in your `CREATE TABLE` statement:
+
+{% include_cached copy-clipboard.html %}
+~~~ sql
+CREATE TABLE logins (
+    name CITEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+    email TEXT NOT NULL
+);
+~~~
+
+## Size
+
+As with `STRING`, `CITEXT` values should be kept below 64 KB for best performance. Because `CITEXT` values resort to a collation engine on every comparison, `CITEXT` columns and indexes consume marginally more CPU and memory than their `STRING` equivalents.
+
+## Example
+
+Create and populate a table:
+
+{% include_cached copy-clipboard.html %}
+~~~ sql
+CREATE TABLE logins (
+  username CITEXT,
+  email STRING
+);
+~~~
+
+{% include_cached copy-clipboard.html %}
+~~~ sql
+INSERT INTO logins VALUES
+('Roach', 'Roach@example.com'),
+('lincoln', 'lincoln@example.com');
+~~~
+
+Because `CITEXT` comparisons are case-insensitive, an equality predicate matches regardless of letter case:
+
+{% include_cached copy-clipboard.html %}
+~~~ sql
+SELECT * FROM logins WHERE username = 'roach';
+~~~
+
+~~~
+  username |       email
+-----------+--------------------
+  Roach    | Roach@example.com
+(1 row)
+~~~
+
+An ordering comparison is also case-insensitive with `CITEXT`:
+
+{% include_cached copy-clipboard.html %}
+~~~ sql
+SELECT username FROM logins WHERE username < 'Xavi';
+~~~
+
+~~~ 
+  username
+------------
+  Roach
+  lincoln
+(2 rows)
+~~~
+
+For case-sensitive comparisons on `CITEXT` values, cast to `STRING` explicitly. In the default Unicode ordering, an uppercase value is considered less than the lowercase value in the table:
+
+{% include_cached copy-clipboard.html %}
+~~~ sql
+SELECT username FROM logins WHERE username::STRING < 'Xavi';
+~~~
+
+~~~
+  username
+------------
+  Roach
+(1 row)
+~~~
