Ok, yes. It’s s server for analytics running R. So users speecify their oen connection string. My initial thought was to leave out username in the connection string, but I think now to
specify username in lowercase.
Thank you, and Magnus also.

You just have to make sure that the users tell whatever program they're
using to connect to PG (like psql, pgAdmin, whatever) that their PG
username is 'xyz'. If they try to log in as 'XYZ' then that's gonna be
a different PG user.
If you have some other application that's being used to connect to PG
then you could do the lowercase in the app...
Thanks,
Stephen
