AS/400 DB2 always returns both table and ‘column’ names in uppercase. I always use uppercase.

I just make sure I get the correct case… but I rarely (if at all) use uppercase characters in table names, or column names.

You need to be careful with the CapitalCasedAccessPorts as well.

We got caught out once, way back, exactly as you describe. We had developed and tested the application on Windows, then scratched our heads for half an hour when we deployed to the production Linux servers and the logs filled with “table not found” errors.

Now, I always use all lower case for everything!
