We've been trialling ArcGIS at work and are just about to buy. However, we have a Postgres database which contains a lot of stuff we work with, which is named in all upper-case ("GISSTUFF", for instance). ArcGIS won't connect to it.



We've contacted the ESRI support desk and they say it needs renaming to lower-case. Which is easy enough to accomplish, but unfortunately throws out our other connections. GISSTUFF suddenly becomes gisstuff and their connections are lost.



And that's a lot of connections across a whole range of things. It can be managed, but we'd have to think of every point first where the connection would be, re-establish it and test it. I have no doubt that, since none of the staff here were the original system admins and documentation/training was sparse, things would fall through the gaps.



So, does anyone know of a way to make ArcGIS (just the standard desktop stuff - I think that would be Pro nowadays) handle Postgres databases in all upper-case?
