How do that the method of validation uniqueness not accept case sensitive

I have the following problem. I have the model with the following validation

 validates :company, presence:true,
                      uniqueness: true,
                      format: /^([a-zA-z]+\s?){1,}$

if in the database there is stored a company with the value "Nevada" and after I add a new company with the value "nevada" that validation passes because "Nevada" is not than same that "nevada". How can I do for that the validation not accept case sensitive

You can dfine if it checks for case sensitive

   validates :company, presence:true,
                      uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false},
                      format: /^([a-zA-z]+\s?){1,}$

Check also rails unique validation
