Read fields from SQL database with field names lower case only?

I am having an issue with how qlikview reads fields from the database. I know SQL usually is not case sensitive when it comes to field names and table names.

Unfortunately we just upgraded our software and server so we now have a new database (Same tables and field names). In this new database instead of the fields being all lower case they are now like this example:

Old Field: sendalertcomplete

New Field: SendAlertComplete

Now since Qlikview reads the database as case sensitive, Qlikview cannot find any of my fields. Remembering where the letters are capitalized at will be a huge pain, especially when I have 30+ tables in some of my documents.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off case sensitivity when reading from SQL or transforming the field names so that they are lower case? I know doing the following is an option, but this will be cumbersome to do for every field for every table. (SendAlertComplete as sendalertcomplete)

Edit: Ok I tested and I dont have to do Table as table in the SQL Select portion of the scripts. Simply stating table pulls the information still. This is still annoying though as I am not unable to simply say Select * from; I now have to list every field from the table to get the proper case...

It does not appear to upper case the field names when reading from a file (as opposed to SQL).
