I always tell my Windows users to lowercase everything to avoid conflicts when they transfer their content to the Linux-based web servers. Even more fun is replicating between Windows and Linux with MySQL. If you name a table 'FooTable' and write a query like "INSERT INTO footable ...", it works fine under Windows but breaks the replication to Linux. Similar situation with the name of the databases. And a major pain in the butt to fix. -Fred -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
