Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
- ------------------------------------------------
There are a number of problems with using mixed case table names:

1.  Using constraints on tables whose name contains mixed case will fail.

2.  Creating triggers on tables whose name contains mixed case will fail.

3.  In pgsql, the command '\d *' will fail.

Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible: 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Create a table that has a mixed case name and a constraint such as   a default or a primary key.

2.  Create a trigger on a table with a mixed case name.

3.  In psql, execute the '\d *' command in a database that has tables   mixed case names.

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following patch file fixes problems 1 and 3.  Thomas G. Lockhart's
patch to fix problem 1 was incomplete.  I added the additional changes
to 'heap.c' that were needed to complete the fix.
