I converted a db from MS SQL, where tables and fields were CamelCase, and just lowercased the ddl to create the tables. So table and fields names were all created in lowercase, but I didn't have to change any of the application code: the SELECT statements worked fine with mixed case. -- sample DDL CREATE TABLE testtable ( fieldone int4 ) insert into TestTable (fieldone) values (11); -- These statements will both work: -- lowercase SELECT fieldone FROM testtable; -- CamelCase SELECT FieldOne FROM TestTable; -Roger > Jim C.
