Mysql：转储数据库，所有表名在Windows服务器上均小写（在Linux上不是）

Question

From a Linux server I perform a dump of my database.

mysqldump -u root -p database_from_linux >database_from_linux.sql

And I create the new database on a Windows server from this dump:

mysql -u root -p database < database_from_linux.sql

On the Windows server, all tables name are in lowercase, whereas in linux server they are in uppercase.

In the SQL script, the tables names are in lower case.

How can i keep the uppercase in the Windows server database?

Server Linux 14.10
Mysql 5.5.40-ubuntu01
Mysql workbench 6.1

Server Windows 2012
Mysql 5.5.47
Mysql workbench 6.3

Thanks.

According to mysql docs you can set lower_case_table_names=0 on linux and lower_case_table_names=2 on windows. This will preserve case but you also have to specify correct case when writing queries.

I would argue that it's better to set lower_case_table_names=1 everywhere. You can still type queries using any case but internally it's converted to lowercase.
