Thanks for response.

I've tried to connect the application to postgres with odbc. Arised 2
problems:

1) mysql widelly uses case-insensitive naming for
schemas,tables,columns. But postgres use case-sensitive when
doulbe-quoting or lowers the names without quoting. Is there a configure
option to ignore case by default?
2) despite odbc use, at first start the particular application tries to
connect and create tables in database(schema). It kept saying that
database(schema) does not exists, although I've created the schema
exactly as it needs with cases and specified search_path also. May be
this problem is related to case-sensitivenes, as program double-quotes
the schema,table and column names.
