No it's not. Only identifiers in double quotes (") are case-sensetive.

So, in your example below, because the function was created with double
quotes, you now have to use double quotes and the same case every time
you want to use it. If you create a function/table/column without
double quotes, you never need quotes and it is case-insensetive.

In your case it's possible that pgAdmin is adding the quotes for you,
maybe?
