Sometimes you hear that PostgreSQL is case-insensitive, but it isn’t really. What it actually does is convert your SQL to lowercase by default. So take a look at this SQL:
SELECT FullName FROM Person
This gets converted to:
SELECT fullname FROM person
That is nice if you happen to like to write your queries with mixed casing.
