Description
Default MSSQL instances complete case insensitive searches with the equals and like operators. The QGIS query builder dialog has the option to use the 'ILIKE' operator, but MSSQL does not support this. Maybe the MSSQL provider should map ILIKE to LIKE before passing it to the server..?

I don't think it would be a good approach to rewrite the operator at driver level.
We should probably establish a mechanism to disable the ILIKE button is the driver doesn't support this operation. However I don't think it would provide the amount of benefit comparing to the required amount of work to implement it.
This approach seem fairly reasonable to me since the driver provides notification that this operation is not supported.
Since we can use the lower(fieldname) LIKE lower(pattern) workaround I close this issue.
