No, it cares about sensitivity if you tell it to care.  This part is in
conformance with the SQL standard (although Postgres gets it backwards by
folding to lower case instead of upper for unquoted identifiers).

What you want to do is perform quoting consistently: either _always_
double-quote identifiers, or never do.  I believe that RT has some sections
where it always quotes, so you should, too.  Therefore, you want 

CREATE TABLE "Customers". . . 

and also

INSERT INTO "Customers". . .

rather than

CREATE TABLE Customers. . .
INSERT INTO Customers. . .

(These latter two are the same as typing customers, without the capital.)
