Turns out things weren't so easy after all. Now apparently the ODBC
driver tries to find the table using a case-sensitive match which
of course fail, due to the fact that the table name is now lowercase.
Would it be difficult to make PostgreSQL case insensitive for real when
comparing identifiers? That is, the actual comparison is case
insensitive rather than having the parser convert everything to
lowercase. Would I have to make modifications to lots of different
places or are the comparisons in question contained in some (small)
part of the source code?

Oskar
