I can't change the lower_case_file_names variables using the -O lower_case_file_names=1 parameter to either the mysqld or the /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql script. Neither mysqld -O lower_case_file_names=1 or /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql -O lower_case_file_names=1 works.
Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious? I am assuming I am doing something wrong but every reference to this variable online says that the approach I am using should work. My customer has pre-existing software that can't be changed at the source code level and it makes calls to SQL Server 7 in a case insensitive manner and I need to turn on the option so that I can run the code without having to go out and re-write it. My customer is checking out mySQL and wants to migrate to it but I have to demonstrate why its better than SQL Server 7 and this is not helping me out one bit... Don Flowers Thanks for any help in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
