Title: RE: naming conventions for Oracle/Unix vs. SQL Server

Paula:     The mixed case for Oracle does not matter, as Oracle is not case sensitive.  The column names are stored in uppercase within the data dictionary.  However, for SQL Server, the case sensitivity of column names is crucial.       Another black eye for MSFT.   Thank You   Stephen P.
