Linux: MySQL case sensitivity

As a matter of principle when writing SQL for mix-OS systems:
USE LOWER CASE ONLY
Example proper case SQL statement:

CREATE TABLE `address` (                       

           `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,     

           `attn_care_of` varchar(255) default NULL,  

           PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)                          

         ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; 

This is especially important when developing on Windows systems where case does not matter. It is possible to configure MySQL to be case sensitive/insensitive, but that is seldom done.

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
