Fwd: Table names case sensitivity
Hi all, My problem goes away after I have upgraded MySQL from 3.23.41 to 3.23.46. Thanks you for anyone who have made suggestions or who have tried to figure out the solution.

I want to migrate a M$ SQL Server database to MySQL in a Linux box. Since table names in MySQL@Linux is case sensitive, I am having troubles connecting to the server via ODBC from a Windows box. I search the documentation and find that I may be able to disable the case sensitivity by setting the variable called lower_case_table_names to 1 when starting the server. I edit my.cnf and restart the server. Everything seems OK. mysqladmin and the Show Variables command in mysql confirm that this variable is now 1 instead of 0 before I make the changes. I have also changed the schema so that all table names are now in lower cases. However, when I perform a select, eg., SELECT * FROM Company; Then, an error occurs that tells me that the user xxx is not allowed select the table. Of course, there is no error when the following SQL is submitted: SELECT * FROM company; I change my.cnf back and repeat the above tests and the error persists. Thus, nothing seems to be changed by setting the variable. Have I missed anything? Thanks in advance. __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

RE: Table names case sensitivity
Neil, Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the Grant command grants privileges to lower case table names also. I have also tried to find solution from archive of mysql mail lists but nothing useful have been found.

I am not quite sure but, if you had set table privileges for your tables using grant statements, these could be incorrectly pointing to the wrong databases still. So if you granted GRANT ALL ON xxx.Company TO user@host IDENTIFIED BY password you would get errors because you only have permission to Company and not company. Just a thought.

Hi, As what I described in the original text, I have changed the table names to lower cases. Thus, I think I have done exactly what the manual says. Is this a bug or what have I missed? Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
