Hi all,
The PostgreSQL docs mostly show function names in lowercase (e.g. [1],
[2]), which seems to be the PostgreSQL-idiomatic thing to do. However, some
pages show functions in upper case, e.g. COALESCE/NULLIF/GREATEST/LEAST
([3]). Is there some difference between these which warrants the case
difference, or just a case of docs inconsistency?
I ran into this while trying to make Entity Framework (.NET ORM) generate
more idiomatic-looking SQL. If this is just an inconsistency, it's
obviously not very important.
Thanks,
Shay
