Since you are in a development phase, can you tell me if the following
feature is in your roadmap?

Add a check box "Quote every table/field identifier" yes/no, default: no

This would solve one of the greatest problems interacting with psql server:
- On the server you define MyTable.MyField
- Excel/MSQuery receives MyTable.MyField names through ODBC
- Excel/MSQuery builds a query with MyTable.MyField (not
"MyTable"."MyField")
- psql server lowercase to mytable.myfield and errors out

I read all the explanations about how this behavior is right/good, but users
just want it to work.

Thanks
