Can someone show me the case specifications for SQL?

I think that unless quoted table names are case insensitive, so

 SELECT * FROM FOO;

equals

 select * from foo;

but does not equal

 SELECT * from "Foo";


I don't know about the standard - but Sybase (and MS-SQL probably) is case-sensitive by default, though that can be changed with the "sort- order" configuration of the server.

The case-sensitivity (or not, if a case-insensitive sort order is used) is valid both for table names/object names, and for strings.
