Description

When creating a new column for a table in postgres that contains uppercase letters, it is changed to lowercase afterwards. image then image I assume there are some quotes missing somewhere internally (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20878932/are-postgresql-column-names-case-sensitive).

Hello @FKPSC

By default, DBeaver uses the case of a database. You need to add quotes around a name. Or enable this setting in Preferences to keep your original case:

Idea for improvement:

  1. Check for mixed cases in table names in such cases
  2. Prompt once (or with a don't display this again checkbox) to turn this setting on

This is a cheap check. If no mixed cases are used, nothing is shown. If mixed cases are used, prompt the user in case it is intentional.

Just my 2 cents :)

Thank you for idea. I change the label from bug to enhancement

We want to add quotes for names filled in the text field for any object - table, column, procedure, etc.
