Re: BUG #2501: JOIN and capitial letters in Table Row

["Jim C. Nasby" <jnasby(at)pervasive(dot)com>]

If you define an object using quotes to preserve case, you must always
refer to that object with quotes, ie: productoptions."ProductID".

My recommendation: use underscores in the database
(product_options.product_id). Personally, I wouldn't pluralize the
table names either, but that's just me...
