Postgres 9.2 has been modified so psql no longer uppercases SQL keywords
when using tab completation, by this commit:
commit 69f4f1c3576abc535871c6cfa95539e32a36120fAuthor: Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>Date:   Wed Feb 1 20:16:40
2012+0200    psql: Case preserving completion of SQL key words    Instead of always completing SQL key words in upper
case,look at     the word being completed and match the case.    reviewed by Fujii Masao
 

For example, in 9.1:
test=> sel<TAB>

becomes
test=> SELECT

However, in 9.2, this will produce:
test=> select

FYI, fortunately this will still complete as upper case:
test=> Sel<TAB>

Robert Haas and I are disappointed by this change.  I liked the fact
that I could post nice-looking SQL queries without having to use my
capslock key (which I use as a second control key).  Any chance of
reverting this change?
