Lowercase Table Names in MySQL

Start mysqld with -0 lower_case_table_names=1. By default this option is 1 on Windows and 0 on Unix.

The MySQL configuration file is my.ini. It's typically located in the Windows system directory (e.g. C:\WINNT\my.ini).

For case-sensitive table names to be the default MySQL option add this line to the my.ini file:

set-variable=lower_case_table_names=0

All the set-variable directives can be set this way.
