OK, ehm, considering Heikki's post, why does MySQL take care of case-sensitive table names at all? I'm not that familiar with the whole thing about it, but aren't database names also case-insensitive? I know that column names are. So why isn't this option removed and table names are generally treated case-insensitive? (E.g. forcing lowercase_tablenames=1 anywhere.) This won't resolve the problems with older database servers though, as long as I have no chance to change the lowercase_tablenames setting (BTW, can I change this per connection?), but in future, this problem could be avoided.
