I really do think that the uniqueness of
ref.consumable_substances
on units should be case-insensitive -- made unique on UPPER() or lower().
It is otherwise too easy to have multiple instances of the same substance,
based on non-standard usages for example drug strengths of
3 grams
which are formatted in upper-case-only drug info sources as
3 G
when a data pack may have already provided these in a tidy and consistent (and
correct)
3 g
I know… a person is unlikely to go to the trouble to create such redundancy
manually, however when they would access an external reference (like FreeDiams)
this is easy to do semi-automatically.
