The only way to insert a column name in mixed case with Oracle is to enclose
the create statements column names in "double-quotes".. This also means that
when selecting from the created table, you have to enclose the mixed case
column name in double quotes as well.. Ad-hoc type queries could go wrong
all the time if people forget to do this..
There may be better reasons not to - but this is the one that jumps to mind
for me..

Guys,
Please help. I work in an organization where we have both SQL Server on NT
and Oracle on Unix. SQL Server and developers who are used to GUI's in NT
like column names to have mixed case with no underscores. The Unix folk -
like myself prefer underscores and one case. Is there any reason not to
adopt mixed case for Oracle? Is this really just what I am used to? I have
been using this standard for so long that it maybe the reasons I adopted it
do not any longer exist or are not as compelling as developer's today are
more comfortable with mixed case.
Help!
