Hello,

I titled my tables and fields with upper case lettering and lower case lettering, e.g. Employees for the table and Employee_Position for the fields. I noticed when I had AppGini (initially 5.74) create everything in XAMPP (latest version) it created lower case table names, e.g. employees but kept the fields as is (Employee_Position). Everythign worked fine testing and working with it on the Windows box.

I have been working locally on my windows machine and wanted to migrate the app over to my home Linux server. When I set everything up (according to the instructions on the AppGini site) an empty database was created and all of the table names were Uppercase first letter, Employees, etc. When I restored the backup, identical table names were created with lower case first letters. e.g employees. Now I have duplicates of everything except for all of the hidden members tables. Unfortunately the app only sees the tables starting with the uppercase and they are all empty. Having tried deleting the empty tables, renaming them etc, they come back everytime I open the app in a browser window. What did I do wrong other than use uppercase lettering?

Hi,

can you add/change to/in the mysql/my.cnf (or my.ini)

lower_case_table_names = 2

and restart mysql

Hi,

Thanks for that. I am likely going to drop the table, reload everything after I make that change on the home server.

Yeah, it's a no go on the home server. Currently using linux Mint but will be switching it later on. It would still be nice to be able to rename tables in the AppGini application. The only choice it seems is to delete the table and start over from scratch which is certainly counter productive.

I found a work around in case any other newbie males the same mistake. Simply insert a letter beside the upper case letter, e.g. Tablename becomes Ttablename then click outside the corrected field. Once the highlight has disappeared, re-highlight (click twice) then delete the upper case character, e.g. Ttablename now becomes tablename. It worked. Appgini even adjusts all the table 1 to m or m to m relationships accordingly. I saved and overwrote my work to test. The only thing is the Tablename-dv.js files have to be renamed.
