   `ccity` char(64) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL default '',

The _bin is what makes it case sensitive.

Is there some reason you set that up?

If no real reason, I suggest changing it to something like utf8 or 
utf8_general_ci (those 2 seemed like the obvious choices.) - it will make the 
dabo demo 'better'.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to ALTER all the fields that need ALTERing?
