Is there any workaround yet?
I'm facing the same "issue". I tried some workarounds using derived properties, but sometimes Hibernate won't create the column at all or just create a normal column...

If I don't find a good solution, I'll implement it in my business logic (just doing .toLowerCase before every access or using a second field...), but that's not something I would prefer over a built-in solution.

Using MariaDB102Dialect
