Don't start calling "bug" without verifying the right syntax :-)

If you create an object with double quotes (like "Persone") - it
becomes case sensitive, unless you're using all uppercase characters.

So creating "PERSONE" - can be used as Persone, PERSoNe or
"PERSONE", but not as "Persone".

Creating it as "Persone" can ONLY be used as "Persone":

SELECT * FROM "Persone"

In my opinion, a pain in the *ss and to be avoided at all times. Many
developer tool allow you to turn ON upper-casing object names -
when creating from editors - to avoid these errors. Database
Workbench is one of these tools - see www.upscene.com
