Man,

You don't imagine how ALL CAPS, small caps and Mixed Caps was discussed
last days. :-)

If you put the table name (or other identifier) enclosed on quotes, you
SHOULD use it everywhere with the quotes and with the same case, if you
don't use quotes the identififer will be case insensitive.

see you !
