Description
### Is this a new bug?
- [x] I believe this is a new bug
- [x] I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this bug
### Which packages are affected?
- [ ] dbt-adapters
- [ ] dbt-tests-adapter
- [ ] dbt-athena
- [ ] dbt-athena-community
- [ ] dbt-bigquery
- [x] dbt-postgres
- [ ] dbt-redshift
- [ ] dbt-snowflake
- [ ] dbt-spark
### Current Behavior
I opened an issue on dbt-core, but I think this is more appropriate: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/11665
The same issue is also described here:
https://discourse.getdbt.com/t/create-indices-on-a-column-with-camel-casing/11513
I define an index like this:
```
{{ config(
indexes=[
{‘columns’: ["submission_id", “ContractID”]}
]
)}}
```
I get an error:
`column "contractid" does not exist`
Confirmed that adding quoting does not seem to help. In fact the sql shows the column are quoted, but they are lowercased automatically somewhere:
```
create unique index if not exists
"5481a023e379ef5288517c3dc7a90c0a"
on "test"."views"."my_view" using btree
("contractid", "submission_id")
```
### Expected Behavior
I would expect that the cases I include will be preserved
### Steps To Reproduce
Given any postgres database with columns that have upper case characters
### Relevant log output
```shell
```
### Environment
```markdown
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- Python: 3.10.12
- dbt-adapters: 1.9.0
- dbt-postgres: 1.9.0
```
