The problem is, if you create a table without "", the table name
defaults to lower case, and all non ""ed references to the table also
default to all lower case but if you create a table with ""s you cannot
access it unless you specify all references to it also in ""s. My
question is, is there anyway to nullify the "" behavior and set all
tables to lowercase?
