When I set the DATABASE_TO_UPPER property set to false Table- and
FieldNames are 'stored-as-is', so when I execute 'CREATE TABLE
Customers ...' and retrieve the metaData I get 'Customers'. That's
what I want and that's what I need.

But what I don't want is to ACCESS the table in a case-sensitive way.
When I execute two queries:
SELECT * from Customers
and
SELECT * from CUSTOMERS
I expect both to return the same results because the SQL standard says
that sql statements should be interpreted in a case-insensitive way.
With the DATABASE_TO_UPPER set to false I even can execute:
CREATE TABLE customers
and
CREATE TABLE Customers
ending up with two different tables where the SQL Standard requires
the second to throw a 'Table already exists' exception.

The changelog says:
"DATABASE_TO_UPPER: when set to false, all identifier names (table
names, column names) are case sensitive (except aggregate, built-in
functions, data types, and keywords). This is for improved
compatibility with MySQL and PostgreSQL"
But it's not compatible with MySQL at all (and I doubt it is with
PostgreSql)
