docs: Checks whether a result set has a column matching the specified column name.
  The column name is first changed to match the database format.
  E.g. an unquoted columnName in h2 will be converted to uppercase so the column name that is
  being checked for is really the uppercase version of the column name,
  
  @param rs result set to check
  @param columnNameToCheck column name to check
  @return The value if found, null if not found
