You misunderstand postgres. It implements the case insensitivity required by SQL standards via a bit of a kludge--downcasing all identifiers that are not quoted.

I'd bet this would have worked:

scope :activeDate, -> { active.where('? BETWEEN "saleStartDate" AND "saleEndDate"', Date.today)}

Well, I don't know that I want to say "best practice" because I *like* using mixed case in my schemas, and I have a lot of legacy tables that way, but with postgres in particular is sure as heck would be *easier* to use all lower case ;-)
