I think you (or I) might misunderstand TL's comment.  The sql is
probably being sent by some late-in-the-client-side-game driver with
names quoted with double-quote marks, but the database does not have the
column names etc  in mixed case.  Can you connect directly to the
postgres server (psql -h dbservername -U dbusername) to see the
definition of the tables in question (\d dbtablename)?
