I use 50% of my time Sybase and 50% PostgreSQL.
For me is the way Sybase works is just more convenient:
CREATE MyTable (MyColumn varchar);
creates a camel cased table MyType and field MyColumn.
SELECT * FROM SYSCATALOG gives MyTable.
This is better readable when you use long table / fiel names.
The user can then use whatever he wants: mytable, MyTable, myTABLE, ...
