We recommend that you only use uppercase for table and column names when storing information in a database. For instance, avoid CustomerName, Customername, or customername and instead use CUSTOMERNAME.
Database management systems (DBMS) vary in how they handle case issues so it is best to standardize on uppercase. With version 11.2, all column names must be in uppercase.
