+1 lowercase
UPPERCASE as stated is for syntax as a coding style.

Oracle uses UPPERCASE for DD objects, but I personally don't like it.

There will always be a case for and against. You have more important
problems. Pick one way, and be consistent.

I suggest the current core drizzle members take a vote or flip a coin.
Document what is the Drizzle standard and start getting more cool
instrumentation into the data dicrtionary.

Paul,

here is a relevant excerpt from the SQL standard:

An <SQL language identifier> is equivalent to an <SQL language identifier>
in which every letter that is
a lower-case letter is replaced by the corresponding upper-case letter or
letters. This treatment includes
determination of equivalence, representation in the Information and
Definition Schemas, representation in
diagnostics areas, and similar uses.

Note that this does not cover delimited (double-quoted) identifiers, which
are compared regardless of case.

Thanks,
Roy
