There are a couple of small gotcha. eg. - PHP actually is case sensitive so: $row['MyRow'] != $row['myrow'] If you used camel case in pg without quotes it will be a pain. - Some pg functions aren't case-proof eg. pg_get_serial_sequence I'm thinking to write a script to quote all identifiers... but I'm worried it will look to much as a parser rather than a simple sed script since I got trapped by the above too. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
