Question
I'm having an error restoring tables which have Foreign Keys after lowercasing the contents of a mysql dump file. My goal is to lowercase all structure in a mysql database. I used vim to lowercase all contents of a mysqldump file when trying to restore the database, this is the error I get.
$ mysql -u [user] -p[password] dme < mysqldump.sql
ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 399: Can't create table 'dme.contacts' (errno: 121)
The restore is error'ing out on any table which has Foreign Key contstraints. If I remove lines after the Primary Key for each table, the entire restore works fine.
My question is, what is causing this and how can I keep my Foreign Keys in the process?
Lowercased.sql example which results in the error (fyi prior to dme.contacts there are multiple tables which are created just fine. Only tables w/ Foreign Keys and Contstraints have issues.)

Solution
Try removing the constrain name. Sample:
constraint `fk_contacts_contacttype` foreign key (`contacttypeid`) ....
To
constraint foreign key (`contacttypeid`) ...
