Hello,
I am a total newbie to PostgreSql, coming from MS Access background. I have
a question regarding queries in PostgreSql: why do I need to enclose every
field name and table name in quotation marks like
SELECT Name From contacts
That is a major inconvenience when composing a query
This is only really necessary if the table or column names are mixed cases or
include spaces or some such ... normally (?) this is not required. PostgreSQL
relentlessly lower cases such names unless they are double quoted.

Not when you can store a value that is larger than allowed, and it

That's regardless of InnoDB or not.

C locale and en_* locales give different ordering (at least under Linux).
The en_* ordering is case insensitive, and the C locale ordering is case
sensitive because it is simply comparing the ASCII codes.
You could use lower/upper to get case insensitive ordering with C locale.
Okay, that's

You only need to use quotes in your SQL statements if your table names
in PostgreSQL contain any upper case letters. PostgreSQL automatically
converts all of your SQL statements to lower case unless they're quoted.
