How do you make MySQL database table names case-insensitive?

In MySQL, case sensitivity is enabled by default. However, it can be disabled by modifying the MySQL configuration file.

To achieve case-insensitive table names, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the configuration file my.cnf for MySQL (typically named my.ini on Windows systems).
2. Locate the [mysqld] section and add the following configuration items underneath it:

lower_case_table_names=1

1. Save and close the configuration file.
2. Restart the MySQL service.

Please take note:

1. After modifying the configuration file, it may be necessary to restart the MySQL service for the changes to take effect.
2. Changing the lower_case_table_names parameter will impact the case sensitivity of the database, so it is important to carefully consider and evaluate whether it will affect the existing business logic before making any changes.

When creating or querying tables without case sensitivity, table names will no longer be case sensitive. However, correct capitalization is still needed when referencing column names during queries.
