Camel case is a preference and although it looks good to you and to me, many
people prefer all upper or lower case. You aren't asking for anything new,
but I believe in order to follow SQL standards, once you quote a table/field
name, you must always quote it. Someone more knowledgable can correct that
to whatever the standard is but it makes sense to me.
IIRC, there was a discussion in the past about having another field in the
system tables which would store the table and field names in the same way
they were created strictly for reporting purposes like you want. I don't
know whether that idea was actually seriously considered, though, but it
might be a good time to bring it back up if not.
