Just a couple of quick comments.  According to a quick read 
of the SQL 99 standard, column names are supposed to be case 
insensitive unless they are delimited.  Sybase is doing 
non-standard things here (or my interpretation could be 
wrong  8) ) 

Also, changing the way Torque has generated column names since
day one could possibly break (badly written) application code
if someone has hardcoded this expected behaviour into it.

Should this be an optional generation flag?
