I am unsure of the translation of "fold". Is that the same as translate? Does that mean that if Postgresql get a query
withoutquotes it translates the schema/column/table to lower case automatically?

I cannot see how Clarion creates the queries. I have to deduct it from a log file that does not show me the query as-is
butgives a "user friendly" translation of the query, without any quotes.

Clarion checks whether the table is valid. For that, it seems to do an ODBC SQLColumns which returns the
schema/table/columnname in lower case while Clarino is expecting it to be uppercase. Hence it says that the table is
notvalid (it seems to find the table but not the columns). On a DB2 database (that has all caps names) it works.
