SQL standard mandates case insensitivity:

Section 5.2, Syntax Rules 10).

Die you mean "double quotes" instead of "commas"?  I don't see how 
commas would help with the case in SQL.  To get exact case handling you 
usually have to enclose identifiers in double quotes in SQL.

SNAKE_CASE is pretty common for database entity names.  I'd just stick 
with the convention rather than having double quotes all over the place.
