MySQL stores its table and database-names case insensitive on Mac OSX (on HFS file systems) and Windows ( more here). This is normally not a big deal (until now), but when you export data with mysqldump from one of these systems, all tablenames are in lowercase. Arghā¦ Of course,
importing this on a linux systems plays havoc with the new data. I think, we have to think over our tablenaming policy in the future, otherwise we will run into problems more than once with this āfeatureā (It's not MySQL's fault per se, but the filesystem's)
