(PostgreSQL) 7.1.1:
Hello all!
I was trying to adopt a database application to PostgreSQL.
(It is written for MySQL and Oracle using perl)
During this process I recognized the phenomena that upper case letters
of table names and column names are not preserved
in PostgreSQL.
Is this a "featue" of PostgreSQL or do I miss something?
Example:
Id and textId as a column name should conserve upper case letters 'I'
but \d data converts it to lower case words:
psql ...
create table data ( Id int not null, textId int not null);
\d data
Table "data"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+----------
id | integer | not null
textid | integer | not null
and
create table Data ( Id int not null, textId int not null);
results in:
ERROR: Relation 'data' already exists
In the interpretation of my application table 'data' and 'Data' is something
different.
