No.

This has been discussed (many times) before. There isn't any feasible
way to change this behavior without breaking an incredible amount of
code, much of which isn't even under our control. The marginal increase
in standards compliance is not worth the pain --- especially when the
aspect of the standard in question isn't even one that most of us like.
(All-upper-case is hard to read.)

If this is a deal-breaker for you, then I'm sorry, but you need to find
another database. Postgres settled on this behavior fifteen years ago,
and we're not changing it now.
