Hi,

I have a trouble in creating user and database in postgres. whenever I
create user or databases in capital letters, the names are always
converted into names in lower case letter. what's wrong with it?
Thanks

Dong

You need to put double-quotes (") around your username, db name etc. -
otherwise everything is reduced to lower case.

Try add ""


CREATE USER "PepeArgento";

While one can certainly do that, I would strongly discourage the usage of mixed case user names (or any other object name that is). I'm pretty sure that will cause more trouble than it's worth.
