May be a workaround similar to this comment in an msysgit issue (for another case-insensitive OS: Windows) could help? I’ve encountered this same issue. Refactored a package name in Eclipse and switching to a previous build broke due to the folder name not reverting. I’m using Windows 7, Git 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0 My folder was renamed in … Read more
Most XML standards originating from the W3C tend to use lower case with hyphens. There is a philosophical distinction between seeing XML as a format for platform neutral documents, which W3C standards try to encourage, and languages such as XAML which see XML as a serialisation of a platform specific object graph. If you’re not … Read more
You can use the StrComp() function with vbBinaryCompare for a case-sensitive comparison. Here is an example from the Immediate window to show how StrComp() works. See the Access help topic for more details. ? StrComp(“a”, “A”, vbBinaryCompare) 1 ? StrComp(“a”, “A”,vbTextCompare) 0 StrComp() returns 0 if the first two arguments evaluate as equal, 1 or … Read more
Read the following chapter in the official MySQL documentation: Identifier Case Sensitivity. Then add the following system variable to the server section, [mysqld], inside the my.ini configuration file and restart the MySQL service: lower_case_table_names=2
The difference between VBA and VB.NET is just because VB.NET compiles continuously in the background. You’ll get an error when you compile the VBA. Like Jonathan says, when programming you can think of VB.NET as case-insensitive apart from string-comparisons, XML, and a few other situations… I think you’re interested in what’s under the hood. Well, … Read more
I don’t think you’ll get a better answer than “because the author(s) of that language thought it was better that way”. Personally, I think they’re right. I’d hate to find these lines anywhere in the same source file (and refer to the same object+method)… SomeObject.SomeMethod(); … SOMEOBJECT.SOMEMETHOD(); … someObject.someMethod(); … sOmEoBjEcT.sOmEmEtHoD(); I don’t think anyone … Read more
By default, Oracle identifiers (table names, column names, etc.) are case-insensitive. You can make them case-sensitive by using quotes around them (eg: SELECT * FROM “My_Table” WHERE “my_field” = 1). SQL keywords (SELECT, WHERE, JOIN, etc.) are always case-insensitive. On the other hand, string comparisons are case-sensitive (eg: WHERE field=’STRING’ will only match columns where … Read more
The indexOf() methods are all case-sensitive. You can make them (roughly, in a broken way, but working for plenty of cases) case-insensitive by converting your strings to upper/lower case beforehand: s1 = s1.toLowerCase(Locale.US); s2 = s2.toLowerCase(Locale.US); s1.indexOf(s2);
Starting Git 2.0.1 (June 25th, 2014), a git mv will just work on a case-insensitive OS. See commit baa37bf by David Turner (dturner-tw). mv: allow renaming to fix case on case-insensitive filesystems “git mv hello.txt Hello.txt” on a case-insensitive filesystem always triggers “destination already exists” error, because these two names refer to the same path … Read more
Short Answer: Yes – XML is case sensitive. Longer Answer: It is widely accepted as case sensitive, however if you want to accept more flexibly, take a look at the question below, which discusses having case-insensitive enumerations: XML Schema Case Insensitive Enumeration of Simple Type String
