Dear mailing list,
I'm trying to convert a MsSQL database to a Postgres database, with DTS i can
convert the data between the databases. DTS creates case sensitive tables
(using quotes), exactly like i want it to be.
So far so good. But the current code uses queries without quotes, like
select * from Table; and not select * from "Table";. The Table gets
converted to
lowercase and then compared (case sensitive) against the tables in the
database.
This means i have to convert all the table names to lowercase, losing a lot
of readability,
or i put quotes around all the table names in the current queries causing
also a lot of
possible problems and unneeded changes.
Is there an easier fix for this? Does the SQL92/SQL3/SQL2003 specify
unquoted table
names to be case-insensitive or does it say it needs to be converted to
lowercase?
It would be great having a global flag to enable or disable case sensitive
compares
everywhere.
Thanks.
Alwin
