How can I enable case-insensitive search on openGauss

How can I enable case-insensitive search on openGauss ? My fields are all uppercase when creating the tables, and when searching, it is converted to lowercase and causes failure.

SELECT XH,QYBH from user
Error info： No xh column found

The column names in openGauss will be case-sensitive if the column name was enclosed in double quotes when defining it, otherwise they will be case-insensitive. When you run a SELECT query unquoted column names are automatically converted to lower-case. As a result, if a column name is case-sensitive you need to wrap the name in double quotes.

Here are some examples:

CREATE TABLE t1 ("COLA" int, "COLB" int);
SELECT "COLA","COLB" FROM t1; -- works
SELECT cola,colb FROM t1; -- does not work
SELECT COLA,COLB FROM t1; -- does not work

CREATE TABLE t2 (COLA int, COLB int);
SELECT cola,colb FROM t2; -- works 
SELECT COLA,COLB FROM t2; -- works
SELECT CoLa,cOLb FROM t2; -- works
SELECT "cola","colb" FROM t2; -- works
SELECT "cola","colb" FROM t2; -- does not work
