This isn't caused by MySQL.  It's an OS issue.  Linux and Unix are case
sensitive operating systems so any program you run, unless it is
specifically written to be NON-case sensitive, is case sensitive as well.

Subject: Case Sensitive


Hi List,
  
I have three MySQL servers. One is running on Windows XP, another on MacOS 
X, and finally one on Linux. All servers have the same version: 4.0.18.
  
Every time when I create tables on the servers Windows XP and MacOS, MySQl 
creates the database without creating problems with the tables names (is 
not case sensitive). However, in the Linux I have problems (it follows 
exactly the name  uppercase and lowercase  is case sensitive).

So, for example:
On Windows/Mac: TestABC is created as testabc
On Linux: TestABC is created as TestABC
 
1) How can I disable this in the MySQL server running on Linux?
 
2) What is better? Disable or enable the others two?

By the way, I have the same problem with the usernames and passwords. How 
can I enable/disable MySQL case sensitive for data?

Thanks.
  
Andre
