Agreed. Absolutely. But, since the SQL standard says upper case,
wouldn't it be useful to at least have a switch (run time, initdb time,
or ./configure time???) called something like FOLDTOUPPER (in upper case
of course :-)
If it's an easy win I'd be willing to do it. I'm not the world's greatest
C hacker, but I still remember enough of it to be competant.
