Since triggers are available in postgreSQL, that should be the way, yes.
You have to have access to the NEW values in your trigger, and then you
should say something like
NEW.field := upper(NEW.field) ;
In older database systems this would be done in the entry system, but
then you have a coupling between your application and the database.
Good luck.
