+1 for having some JPA abstraction but that need some work and a resource. Right now we can make sure we show such errors to the user. I am familiar with Rave code so i knew where to debug but that may not be true for lot of users. I am going to change the log message type for this one and see if i can make the message obvious enough.
I am able to solve my problem by add lower_case_table_names=1 to mysql my.cnf file.
