SQL keywords are suddenly case sensitive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

version() = "PostgreSQL 9.1.8 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3, 64-bit"

Regards,
