List,

SQL seems to be behaving in a case-sensitive manner:

universe=# select 1;
  ?column?
----------
         1
(1 row)

universe=# SELECT 1;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "SELECT 1"
LINE 1: SELECT 1;
         ^
I cannot figure out how this happened, and Google is not helping because
all I'm getting is information about case-sensitivity in identifiers or
in string comparison. I didn't even think this was possible, as I've
always switched between lower case and upper case keywords, usually
using lower case while testing and upper case to prettify scripts that I
will be saving for reuse.

Interesting.

Does this behavior survive logging out and then back into a session?

It survives complete restart. (This is a laptop that I use for development and analysis, not a high-availability server, so the first thing I did when I realized my scripts started failing was reboot.)


Do you have any other client using the database that exhibits this behavior?

Same behavior in both psql and pgAdmin.
