Case sensitivity with databases
ColdFusion is a case-insensitive programming environment. Case insensitivity means the following statements are
equivalent:
<cfset foo="bar">
<CFSET FOO="BAR">
<CfSet FOO="bar">
However, many databases, especially UNIX databases, are case sensitive. Case sensitivity means that you must match
exactly the case of all column and table names in SQL queries.
For example, the following queries are not equivalent in a case-sensitive database:
SELECT LastName FROM EMPLOYEES
SELECT LASTNAME FROM employees
In a case-sensitive database, employees and EMPLOYEES are two different tables.
For information on how your database handles case, see the product documentation.
