Why my tables' names are converted into lowercase in phpmyadmin?

I've tried what's been suggested here, i must inform that

lower_case_table_names = 0

doesn't work in xampp, it crashes MySQL service at the moment you restart it. Yet

lower_case_table_names = 2

didn't crash, and apparently worked... at least it allowed me to insert a db with camel case.


You must find file my.ini in your mysql folder and change, or add this line:

lower_case_table_names value = 0

There is a directive for forcing table names to lower case.

You want to set the lower_case_table_names value to 0.

You can read more about it from MySQL documentation here


In windows the default value for lower_case_table_names = 1.

You need to change or add this value to my.ini file in your mysql folder..

If this line is not found, then add it under [mysqld]

lower_case_table_names = 0

And then restart the wamp services, it will work :D
