That won't help if the table was not created with a quoted name.
test=# CREATE TABLE Account_Text_Table (foo CHAR(1));
CREATE TABLE
test=# SELECT * FROM Account_Text_Table;
foo
-----
(0 rows)
test=# SELECT * FROM "Account_Text_Table";
ERROR: relation "Account_Text_Table" does not exist
test=# DROP TABLE account_text_table;
DROP TABLE
test=# CREATE TABLE "Account_Text_Table" (foo CHAR(1));
CREATE TABLE
test=# SELECT * FROM Account_Text_Table;
ERROR: relation "account_text_table" does not exist
test=# SELECT * FROM "Account_Text_Table";
foo

(0 rows)
So, you'll need to quote the table name when you create it. But this
means that you'll *always* have to quote references to it.
Easiest to stick with lowercase, IMO.
