[Gvsig_english] Gvsig postgis bug ?

[Benjamin Ducke]

I reported a seemingly related bug in the attribute table manager
dialog a while ago. It seems to me that gvSIG sometimes does an
internal conversion to lower case when it really should not.

E.g. you cannot rename a field "NAME" to "Name" in the attribute
table manager, because it tells you the field already exists.

I have also had trouble connecting to spatial databases for the
same reason.

The conversion seems to only happen when reading field names.
When writing field names, gvSIG honours capitalization.
