Thanks for the info: Appears, unbeknownst to me, that UPPER case field names
can't be addressed via the CREATE INDEX statement in psql mode. Renamed all
my Access97 table field names to "Lower Case" and exported them to the
PostgreSQL 7.0 database. Now they "can" be indexed just fine. Hmmmm.
So, why is that?
