What about having symbolic links in the same directory as the original file? I have a situation where a broken Windoze application has different queries embedded, with some using tablename(lower case), and some using TABLENAME(upper case). The database actually resides on a Linux server, so file names, and table names, are case-sensitive. The only way I could make the app work was to use tablename (lower case) as the original file name, and create a symlink to it named TABLENAME, in the same directory. Now the app doesn't complain, but when I run queries against both tables, I see that the symlinked one doesn't appear to be updating records, at least not beyond the date that I created the symlink. It's almost as if MySQL has created a real file from the link, but isn't updating it. I feel certain it is not some sort of cache arrangement, because the server has since been restarted. Any ideas what might be going on?
