I have some tables in a Postgres database, whose names are in mixed case. example:public."Building_Data"
ArcGIS desktop has trouble connecting to these tables, because their name is not in small letters. (See this forum post for more details:http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/82027-How-to-connect-to-Postgres-and-use-as-a-query-layer其他软件没有问题these kinds of tables, and ArcGIS should be able to work with them.

The support for mixed case objects (tablenames, column names) should be supported for other databases (like DB2) as well.

Absolutely agree that if mixed case is supported in postgresql, then it sould also be supported in ArcGIS (as it is with SQL Server & Oracle).

This is especially problematic for customers who are transitioning to Esri from open source solutions and we have recently had to go through the painful process of renaming db objects for one customer, just so that ArcGIS will recognise them. Not a good start to their Esri experience!
