How to get table names in capital letters in MySQL 5.6

Question

I want to create table whose name starts with capital letter in MySQL version 5.6 . In version 5.0 we can use lower_case_table_names=0 in my.ini file and restart MySQL it works.

But in 5.6 version I am not able to get it to work.

Answer 1

You can set the lower_case_table_names system variable in my.ini. Add this parameter at the bottom of the config file:

lower_case_table_names=2

There are three options available, 0, 1, and 2. Read up on what those options do: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html

Note: There is a big difference between how identifier names are presented to the user through phpMyAdmin, and how identifier matching is done from within an SQL statement.
