case sensitivity regarding field names postgresql

[japerlman]

I've been struggling with getting the PATCH and POST actions to work on a postgres DB I inherited that use camelCase field names (firstName, lastName) I created a new table with all lower case field names and everything works perfect. I renamed one of the camelCase fields (firstName -> first_name) in an dev copy of the database and it works that way too. I tried escaping the the field name in the JSON data body with ""firstName"" but that didn't work either.

Not sure what is going on but posting this here for a little guidance as to what I can do to get it to work with these camelCase field names, I had to enable 'quoteIdentifiers' => true in app.php to get Cake4 to even see the fields at all.
