This used to bother me at first too. But Firebird is case insensitive
if you create your schema using upper case. So, if you set up your
column as ENTERDATE, you can query it as ENTERDATE or EnterDate or
eNTERdATE if you forget the capslock key and they will all work.
I think Oracle is the same way.
