no zuo no die系列，来自于pg的wiki。 这一节的内容是：不要区分大小写（表名&列名不要使用大写）。 理由是: >PostgreSQL folds all names - of tables, columns, functions and everything else - to lower case unless they're "double quoted". So create table Foo() will create a table called foo, while create table "Bar"() will create a table called Bar. These select commands will work: select * from Foo, select * from foo, select * from "Bar". These will fail with "no such table": select * from "Foo", select * from Bar, select * from bar. This means that if you use uppercase characters in your table or column names you have to either always double quote them or never double quote them. That's annoying enough by hand, but when you start using other tools to access the database, some of which always quote all names and some don't, it gets very confusing. Stick to using a-z, 0-9 and underscore for names and you never have to worry about quoting them. 跟Oracle类似，只不过Oracle默认是大写而PG默认是小写，同时在Oracle中如区分大小写使用起来也是相当的麻烦，PG也是如此。 如果想输出的区分大小写，那么通过设置alias name来处理： ``` [pg12@localhost ~]$ psql -d testdb Timing is on. Expanded display is used automatically. psql (12.0) Type "help" for help. [local]:5432 pg12@testdb=# select id as "Id" from tbl; Id ---- 1 (1 row) Time: 78.231 ms [local]:5432 pg12@testdb=# ``` **参考资料** [Don't Do This](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Don't_Do_This)
