It would be great if Postgres had a server setting that allowed the

instead of
SELECT "MyColumn" FROM "MyTable" ORDER BY "MyColumn"
I suspect this would be painful for the parser, unless you also enforced
that all SQL keywords were in a specific case (all lower would be the
minimal impact to the code). otherwise the parser would have to
lower() every token to check to see if its a keyword, but if not, revert
it to its original case.
