Description

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Don't_Do_This#Don.27t_use_upper_case_table_or_column_names

Originally I just went with no modification of column / table names to keep things "easy" , but Postgres likes lowercase better we should offer this as a configuration option something like "name_conforming_strategy"

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating configuration handling and the code that creates PostgreSQL table and column names; determine where a name-conforming strategy would apply. Done means a configuration option lowercases names as requested while retaining the existing behavior when it is not enabled.
