No, there is no way to avoid this. As soon as you use double quotes
with an identifier, the whole thing gets case sensitive. Now when you
create columns with double quotes, they are stored "as is", that is
case matters. The only way to supply the correct name later in the
SELECT is to use double quotes again (otherwise it's case-insesitive)

This is standard ANSI SQL behaviour, and basically all the DBMS I know
and work with, behave that way.

That's one of the reasons I never ever use double quotes. If you use
them, it's asking for trouble (which you just found out)

Why do you create the table with double quotes in the first place????
