Re: case sensitivity on table & column names / workaround?

What about updateable views? It could be the way for replication and name

Yes, I'd loosely considered this but then figured it wouldn't work b/c I wouldn't be able to change the capitalization of the column identifiers as well, but I guess I can do that with 'AS's in my CREATE VIEW statement, eh?

Also, at the moment, the tables are readonly on the PG side so I don't even need them to be updateable, but it's good to know that that feature exists.

I suppose the is the best solution for now, though still not quite ideal of course. Thanks for suggesting it, Luf; I'll give it a shot.

Any chance we might see some sort of feature in the ODBC driver (or the backend) in the future to e.g., check an option that says "Ignore double quotes on identifiers (and thus allow them to be folded to lower case)"?

Obviously, that'd probably be the most ideal situation for me here and perhaps anyone else who is doing something where they're tightly integrated with MSSQL or another backend that handles capitalization differently.

Thanks again,
