I don't know how much conscious effor there is but if I have a table
with two columns with names differing only by case:

test=# select * from casecheck;
 id | name | NAME
----+------+------
  1 | aaa  | AAA
(1 row)

(this is Pg)

 and I define DBIC class columns with the same case:

__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/id name NAME/);


Then when I retrieve the record and print the values in it's columns:
my $record = $schema->resultset( 'Casecheck' ) -> find ( 1 );
print "record->name: ", $record->name, "\n";
print "record->NAME: ", $record->NAME, "\n";

I get:

record->name: aaa
record->NAME: aaa

While I would expect the last line to be: record->NAME: AAA

Summing up - the database is casesensitive, but in DBIC is not (in this case:).
