That makes a lot of sense for a C/C++/Java/(any other case-sens. lang.)
developer. And perhaps SQL developers too should adopt it; but sadly (for
nay sayers), the SQL standard doesn't require them to (and for good reason);
and as is said in the PG community very often, 'who are we to question the
standard?'.

I'd be at the losing end all the time that way; 'coz every package has it's
own coding style, (take PG for example), and I'd hate to see myself, or
anyone else, to dirty the code by using a new, although consistent in
itself, coding style. In a package developed in a case-sensitive language,
I'd always want to code the way the earlier devils (I mean devels) had.
Seems like its time to crawl back under my rock.
