Aliases are treated just like any other identifier. The downcasing happens in the lexer (src/backend/parser/scan.l), which is totally unaware of the context in which this is happening; so there's no way to tweak the downcasing behavior for only aliases and not other identifiers. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
