But it's not invalid. It would designate a database or user named
"ALL". That might be a silly thing to do, but that's another
question.

Surely if you want to designate a database named ALL you should use
quotes, same as if you wanted to designate a database named all (see my
other followup).


OK, but if we move to using pg_strcasecmp() that would be a behaviour change, so I think we couldn't do it before 8.5, in case someone is relying on it. It will affect any dbname or username in mixed or upper case, not just ALL, won't it?

cheers
