BasicRowProcessor loses any information on database field case
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DBUTILS-34
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBUTILS-34
             Project: Commons DbUtils
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Fabio Insaccanebbia
            Priority: Minor


In the BasicRowProcessor class there is a comment about the toMap method:
" This  implementation returns a <code>Map</code> with case insensitive column 
names as keys.  Calls to map.get("COL") and map.get("col") return the same 
value"

So the "contract" of this method just says that the "get" method is case 
insensitive. The current implementation obtains this result by putting all the 
keys in lowercase. This way we simply "lose" every information about the case 
of the fields. If you call the "keys" iterator, you don't have anymore the keys 
you inserted, but the "lowercase" version. 

I find it not completely correct: I would expect the keys to be exactly the 
ones I set on the database, also if I can get the value in a case insensitive 
way.
I still have to find the idea for a pathc, but I'd like to know if you find my 
reasoning correct.

I consider the current behaviour a problem, since I had to map the database 
fields to a bean and the "case" made it impossible, even if I had set my 
database to return mixed case fieldnames.
