-- MySQL uses case sensitive table names by default on Linux --> Fail (will work on Windows)
--
CREATE TABLE COUNTRIES (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR(100));

select name from countries;

DROP TABLE COUNTRIES;

--
-- Using lower case for table names can still break SQL statement that use upper case --> Fail
--
create table countries (id integer, name varchar(100));

SELECT NAME FROM COUNTRIES;

DROP TABLE countries;

--
-- Column names are not case sensitive in MySQL --> OK
--

create table COUNTRIES (id integer, NAME varchar(100));

select name from COUNTRIES;

drop table COUNTRIES;
