Most of you came across this problem when executing query. Creating tables in proper case and access the same tables in lowercase.This should return error in some OS environment.I will explain below.
create table ProductDetails(ProductName varchar(50), Version varchar(10));
select * from productdetails;
The above query will work fine when execute in mysql in windows environment. But the same is failed to process in linux environment mysql. Because most linux operating systems are case sensitive so based on that database or table names are case sensitive.
To solve this problem. Use the –lower_case_table_names parameter to start the mysql dameon. This parameter will ensure that the mysql will process the database or table names in case insensitive.
select * from productdetails;
select * from ProductDetails;
After setting the above param. The above two queries will work fine.
