I am adapting a large open-source Windows program to Linux, using

SQLiteConnection
but in Mono.Data.Sqlite they look like this:
SqliteConnection
with different case, so I got lots of reference errors.
With help from others at stackexchange here

I was able to get the projects to compile.
Do any of you know why the two different versions of SQLite have
different case in the method names?
Yes, we know why.
It's because it's not SQLite's code directly, it is the code of
intermediate libraries on top of SQLite made by different programmers
whom obviously took different views of what the acronym casing should be.
So now you know WHY, but I'm afraid it's not very helpful knowing why,
and sadly nothing we can do to alleviate it - and I guess these
programmers have had their adaptations used a lot by now, so changing it
now will break too much for others....
I guess Search-Replace is your only salvation here.
