Re: Allow disabling folding of unquoted identifiers to lowercase - Mailing list pgsql-general

It would be great if Postgres had a server setting that allowed the automatic folding of identifiers to lowercase to be disabled, so that camel case identifiers could be used without having to quote every single identifier, i.e.

SELECT MyColumn FROM MyTable ORDER BY MyColumn

instead of

SELECT "MyColumn" FROM "MyTable" ORDER BY "MyColumn"

I suspect this would be painful for the parser, unless you also enforced that all SQL keywords were in a specific case (all lower would be the minimal impact to the code).   otherwise the parser would have to lower() every token to check to see if its a keyword, but if not, revert it to its original case.
