Speaking as a Senior Dev specialized in database access and design... you don't have to use all caps - SQL is actually case agnostic.

But... but my fucking eyes man. I'm old, if your branch doesn't have control keywords in all caps I'm going to take it out back and ol' yeller it.

There are few hills I'll die on but all caps SQL and singular table names are two of them.

I'm a sql developer, and I am completely the opposite to you. I will find it incredibly difficult to read when everything is in caps

Same, I prefer lower case. Every other language has keywords in lower case, why do you need to shout when writing sql?

THE DATABASE CAN'T HEAR ME IF I DON'T SCREAM
