I've got an MS Access front end reporting system that has previously 
used MS SQL server which I am moving to Postgres.
The front end has several hundred if not thousand inbuilt/hard-coded 
queries, most of which aren't working for the following reasons:
1.) Access uses double quotes ("") as text qualifiers, PG uses single 
quotes. ('')
2.) The Like function in SQL Server is case insensitive, PG it is case 
sensitive. The ilike function is not recognised by Access and it tries 
to turn that into a string, making my test (like "ilike 'blah'")
Has anyone had any experience with moving an access program from SQL 
server to PG?
Is there any way to change the text qualifier in PG or the case sensitivity?
TIA,
P.
