AFAIK, yes. Interpretation of an odbc.ini file is up to the driver. It
comes to us from the wonderful world of windows, where case is never a
question.
Also, case insensitivity and various forms of booleans are consistent with
the rules for freetds.conf.

In lieu of a spec, a maxim:

"Be liberal in what you accept,
and conservative in what you send."
