As an aside answer without considerable importance:
Why do people tend to write SQL keywords in all capitals ?
PostgreSQL converts everything to lower case (which I like).
So why not output lowercase ? Above example even mixes
case, why ?

I do it for maintenance purposes. All of my code uses caps for keywords
so that I can find them without getting them confused with language
