To cut to the chase on this.
It really needs someone to try and do what he seems to have done and see
what, if any, issues arise.
Since I build from source (gentoo) , I volunteer.
I'll pick up on this next week I hope.

John: whenever people post a URL without commenting up on it, I always
ask them for their comments upon it.
John: What do you think?
and FYI, no, it is not bad SQL.
I agree, and SQLite is doing the correct thing not to quote the table
names.
Dan: do you think we could ease database conversion problems such as
this one by changing the make_postgresql_tables script to define the
table names using Bacula standard capitalization?
I think the best thing to do is to stop using capitalization altogether.
Go lower case.
That is not a solution will work for Bacula. First it would require
*massive* changes in Bacula source code. Second, a good number of studies
show that using either _ in variable names or using capitalization of the
parts significantly improves the readability.
I hope there is a solution that will work everywhere.
The SQL standard says that "SELECT * FROM FOO" should be the same as
"SELECT * FROM foo"
In short, FOO == Foo == foo <> "Foo"
From what I understand, we're doing a lot of 'SELECT * FROM "Foo"'.
I think this is either a misunderstanding of what someone said, or someone is
mistaken about Bacula code.
If we stop putting quotes around the table and field names, that might
solve a lot of the issues.
Bacula *never* puts quotes around a table or field names. We single quote
only strings. If there are any quoted names, which I seriously doubt, please
point them out to me, because I will instantly rip them out. :-)
