AFAIK, SQL says that an non-quoted identifier such as Foo is treated as

So, for example my understanding of spec would say:

  Thank you very much for the complete explanation, Stephan.

These seem to be complaining that there's already a table, view, index,
etc with that name already. Is there one being created with a different
case that's assuming that it'll preserve case rather than fold?

  That's what Josh pointed out. I totally missed that.

Many thanks,

Rich

      choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
      match
